Foreword 



V$W$>J '- PUBLISH this, the History of the 318th Infantry Regiment of the 
80th Division, some week- after the members of the regiment have 
scattered t" take up again the pursuits <>t civil life. 
The regiment is. indeed, no more. 

"The war drums cease their throbbing and the battle flags 
are furled." 

Yet an intangible something remain'-, product and result of some twenty-one 
months of the closest and most intimate contact in camp and bivouac, in billet 
and trench, in training and battle, in life and in death. Perhaps one ran name 
it rightly only by the phrase of our Allies, esprit de corps: and this spirit lives 
and will live as long as men lake pride in love of country and in duty well 
I ierfi 'rmed. 

The seeds of this spirit are to be found in the fighting stock from which 
the regiment sprang. \t it- organization in September, 1 > » 1 7. the eastern counties 
of Virginia furnished to the regiment its entire enlisted personnel, sturdy -on- of 
the men who bore the brunt of the fighting under the Star-- and Bars. 

Man_\ changes in the regiment's personnel occurred during the month- oi 
training at Camp bee. so that when the regiment -ailed for France in May, [918, 
it- membership embraced men from practically every State in the Lnion, with 
Virginia and Pennsylvania predominating; and here it is well to record that the 
sons of these two States fought as heartily together as ever their fathers fought 
against each other. And. from the association together of their -on-, the two 
State? will derive a better appreciation and understanding, each of the other. 
making the Mason and Dixon line a -till more imaginary boundary than hereto- 
fore. 

The regiment has been through nearly every experience which falls to the 
lot of the soldier: the first awkward day- of readjustment to the way- of army 
life; the long and. at times, bitterly cold month- of training at < amp I ee, 
supposedly located in the "Sunny South"; the voyage "Over There" on the 
l'. S. S. Leviathan; the day- of training and of experience iii trench warfare 

with the British; the heart-rending assaults on the Bois des \-. where our 

sacrifices seemed vain; the triumphant advance from Bl'zani y to Voxco, where 
we swept everything before us; the winter in the Department of Yonne, while 
awaiting our return to the United State-; and the return to the State- aboard 
the I'. S. S. Mam. followed by immediate demobilization.

History of -llSth Infantry Regiment, $<~>th Division^ 



We entered the army, an untrained, incoherent mob; we leave it, soldiers, 
proud ..four uniform, our regiment and the cause for which we fought. 
********* 

We have endeavored, in this little volume, to be historically accurate, but 
the reader is reminded that, prior to November 1 1, 1918, the regiment was engaged 
solely in making history, not in writing it. This record, compiled since that date, 
has been written largely from memory. 

The appendices contain rosters of the officers and men of the regiment. 
official rqjorts of the battle operations, and maps of the regions where the regi- 
ment was engaged. 

The editor desires to acknowledge here his indebtedness to the many who 
have rendered effective assistance in the preparation of this volume.

[E 3 1 Nt h rnfanlry Regiment was organized at Camp Lee, near 
Petersburg, \ a., in September, [917, Colonel Briant H. Wells, com- 
manding, and, with the 317th [nfantn and the 313th Machine Gun 
Battalion, was assigned to the [59th tnfantry Brigade, commanded 
by Brigadier-General Charles S. Farnsworth. the 159th and 160th 
Brigades comprising the infantry of the 80th Division, Major-General Adelberl 
1 n mkhite commanding. 

The 159th Brigade was known from the first as a \ irginia organization, from 
the fact that the enlisted personnel of the two infantry regiments was originall) 
drawn entirely from that State, the 317th from the western, the 318th from the 
eastern counties, although the officers came from all sections of the United State-. 

The enlisted personnel of the 8otb Division, as a whole, was drawn from 
Virginia, West Virginia and the western counties of Pennsylvania, giving the 
division the name of "The Blue Ridge Division." The designation was a happy 
one, for the three States have been bound even more closely together by their 
association in the 80th Division than they are by the famous ridge. 

All the officers assigned to this regiment at its formation, with the exception 
of Colonel Briant II. Wells. Lieutenant-Colonel James M. Ln\e. Jr., and Major 
Albert I'.. Dockery, of the Regular Army, were graduates of the First Officers' 
r raining Camp at Fort Myer, \ irginia, and represented nearly every State in the 
Union. The majority of the officers had received no military training other than 
that gained as members of the Provisional Training Regiments at Plattsburg in 
the summers of 1915 and 1916 and from attendance at the Training Camp at 
Fort Myer. There were, however, a few notable exceptions. 

Major .Charles Sweeny, at one time a student at West Point and a sometime 
member of Madero's Army in Mexico, came to the regiment after serving through 
two and one-half years of the European W ar as a member of the French Foreign 
Legion. During his service in the Foreign Legion he rose from the rank- to a 
captaincy and won the decorations of the Legion of Honor, the Military Medal, 
and the Croix de ( luene. He came to the United States in the spring of 1 < 1 1 7 as 
a member of the Mission headed by Marshal Joffre. In May, 1017. he was com- 
missioned a major in the Infantry Section of the ( ifficers' Reserve Corps, United 
States Army.

I aptain John Crum, a former member of Villa's Army in Mexico, came 
i" tin- regiment after serving some two years with the British Expeditionary 
Forces on the Western Front. 

In addition to these t \\ > > officers there were a few officers who had served 
one or more enlistments in the Regular Army and had been commissioned at 
Fort Myer, Virginia. Still other-, had served one or more years in National 
Guard organizations, of whom some had seen recent service on the Mexican 
I '.older. 

'Idle Officers' Training Camp at Fort Myer sent out it- graduates on the 
15th of August, 11)17. and tlie officers of the Third and Fourth Companies were 
assigned to the 318th Infantry, with orders to report for duty at Camp Lee on 
the 27th of August. In compliance with these orders, the officers arrived at 
Petersburg on a fearfully hot, windy day, detraining in a sandy desert, where 
they were met by Lieutenant-Colonel Love, who directed them to the area assigned 
ti 1 the regiment. 

It is safe to assert that the first impressions of the camp that were formed 
by these officers were far from pleasing ones. The camp was still in process of 
construction and many days were to elapse before it reached completion. As a 
result, the period between the arrival of the officers and that of the first con- 
tingent of the draft which was to form the nucleus of the regiment, was spent in 
endeavoring to speed up the carpenters and plumbers and in attending schools on 
the Infantry Drill Regulations and the Field Service Regulations with the officers 
of the 317th infantry, which schools were conducted by Brigadier-General Farns- 
worth, commanding the [59th Brigade. Many officers had fondly imagined that 
their period of study had ceased on August 15th. Such illusions were speedily 
dispelled. Late in November an officer was heard to remark: "Schools? I'm 
only in the Third Grade— and you have to take a college degree in them!" 

1 hi September 4th. word having been received that the first group of enlisted 
men would arrive that night or the following morning, the regiment was organized, 
per General Order Xo. 1. Headquarters 318th [nfantry, as follows: 

Colonel Briant II. Wells, Commanding. 

Lieutenant-Colonel James M. Love, [r. 

Major Albert I'.. Dockerv. Commanding tst Battalion. 

Major Charles Sweeny, Commanding 2nd Battalion. 

Captain Henry 11. Burdu k. Commanding 3rd Battalion.

< aptain Clarence E. Goldsmith, Commanding Company "A." 

Captain Herbert R. Rising, Commanding Company "1'.." 

Captain Clinton I>. Winant, Commanding Company "C." 

Captain Thomas J. Echols, Commanding Company "D."

( aptain Robeki M. Dashifxl, Commanding Company "K." 
Captain Ai.i:i ; .r T. Ckiffix, Commanding Company "L." 
Captain Louis I. Koch, Commanding Company "M." 

Lieutenant-Colonel I ove was mack- Chief Mustering Officer for the regiment, 
and everything was ready to receive the new arrivals. 

The military authorities had decided that the drafted men would be sent to 
camp in the approximate ratio of 5 per cent, the first week, 15 per cent, the 
second week, 25 per cent, the third week, and the balance the last week, and had 
asked for volunteers for the first 5 per cent. Strenuous efforts had been made 
to have accommodations ready for the first arrivals; but, in spite of everything, 
the plumbing was not completed and messing facilities were not installed when 
the men arrived, and bedding was received at the same time as the men. 

( >n the late afternoon of September 5th the first group arrived and were 
rapidly sent through the Mustering Office, then sent to "A" and "E" Companies 
for rations and quarters. It had been determined that, rather than distribute 
through the fifteen companies the 350 or more men who were received in the first 
5 per cent., "A" and "E" Companies would be brought up to the then authorized 
strength of 150 men each, and the balance sent to "1" Company. 

In accordance with this scheme. "A" Company received its full quota and 
was mustered in on September 7th, the first company of the regiment to he 
mustered into the service, and, it is believed, the first company to he mustered 
into the National Army. "E" Company received its quota and was mustered 
in on the following day, and the balance of the men, some fifty in number, were 
assigned to "1" ( Company. 

The new arrivals were rapidly introduced to the rigors and intricacies of 
army life. -Men were at once detailed to install kitchen equipment, to go con- 
siderable distances in search of water, which, prior to the completion of the 
plumbing system, was very scarce, and to receive, stoic, and issue quartermaster 
property and ordnance property; and be it known to all that quartermaster and 
ordnance supplies embrace practically every item of equipment needed to convert 
the civilian into the soldier. While company commanders were busily engaged 
in supervising the above activities, lieutenants found their hands full in the effort 
to teach the recruits the fundamentals of soldiering as embodied in that well- 
known document, the "Infantry Drill Regulations," Chapter I, entitled "The School 
1 if the Soldier." 

It is perhaps not amiss to mention here that the majority of the members 
of this regiment had been brought up and spent most of their lives on farms, 
and they were at once given an opportunity to use this experience to good 



Organization, 15 



advantage. The drill field which had heen assigned to the regiment was com- 
pletely covered with fully grown corn, and, to those officers who had not had 
the benefit of a farming career, presented almost insurmountable difficulties in 
preparing it for drill purposes. But someone had a bright idea. The farmer 
army was turned loose and in twenty-four hours there was no corn in sight. 
The time would have been appreciably less had it not heen for the great number 
of rahliits whose homes were destroyed during the process. It should, however, 
lie recorded as a matter of history that the rabbit stood as much chance as the 
proverbial snowball, and rabbits ami corn disappeared simultaneously. There- 
after it was a matter of only a few days until the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of 
drilling h"~ts levelled the furrows and gave us a first-class drill held. 

In the latter part of < Ictober the regiment reached its full quota of officers 
and men. Before that, however, the War Department had changed the tables of 
organization fur practically all units in the army, increasing the authorized strength 
of infantry companies from 1511 t" -'50 men, with the officer personnel increa ed 
t" one captain, three first lieutenants anil two second lieutenants. This neces- 
sitate 1 a reassignment of barracks, the 2nd Battalion as a whole moving t<i a new 
section. Other units remained in their old barracks, taking over the vacated 
barracks for their additional personnel. 

In the early days of November, sufficient opportunity having heen given to 
know the men. the majority of the non-commissioned officers ivere selected and 
the regiment gradually assumed the aspect of an organization instead of a mob.

CHAPTER II 




Training "Over Here" 

I IK training of the regimenl began simultaneously with the arrival of 
the first contingent on September 5. 1 < > 1 7. and continued without 
interruption until the regiment was disbanded. The notes of 
Reveille, at first received with inherent aversion, soon became no 
mure abhorrent than the music of the familiar alarm clock: and it 
was not long before the slouch of the civilian gave way to the erect bearing of 
the soldier. 

That first month was a strenuous one for all. Work on the drill field con- 
tinued steadily from 7:30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon, Saturdays 
and Sundays excepted. But activities did not cease with the sounding of Recall. 
In the evenings there were schools for the officers, schools for the non-commis- 
sioned officers, schools for the illiterates. In the evenings equipment, as it 
gradually became available, was issued, accompanied by talks and demonstrations 
on its use and care. 

And at all times company commanders were busy breaking in first sergeants, 
supply sergeants, mess sergeants and company clerks; teaching the elements of 
personal hygiene and of first-aid treatment; explaining the articles of war and 
the principles id" military discipline and courtesy. At times, indeed, it appeared 
to company commanders that sleep had been suppressed as a non-essential in- 
dustry. 

And always there was the paper work, unceasing, endless, inexorable. 
Officers, fresh from civil pursuits, often wondered why all commissions were not 
reserved for expert accountants. 

But order gradually came out of chaos. Material for non-commissioned 
officers was plentiful and was not long in being discovered; and after the first 
week or so the men could be relied upon not to put on their leggins upside down. 
It was more difficult to catch an entire platoon in step, even when the band 
was playing; hut this also was finally accomplished. And it is remarkable how 
rapidly the men gained in weight and health by reason of the well-ordered lives 
they led, the vigorous exercise they took, and the enormous meals they consumed 
three times a day. 

In ( (ctober, the people of Richmond, \ a., having expressed a desire to see 
a parade of the veterans of one month's training, a provisional battalion, com- 
posed of Company "A," 318th Infantry, and a company of the 317th Infantry, 




SCENES AT CAMP LEE 



IS Uisfoni of -listh Infantry Regiment, SOt.h Division. 

under command of Major Jennings C. Wise, commanding the 3rd Battalion since 
September 17. [917, was sent to Richmond and made a most creditable showing. 
Every one was much astonished at the progress which had been made, a progress 
which would not have Keen possible, had not the men entered heart and soul into 
the spirit of the game from the very beginning. 

Shortly thereafter Governor Stuart, of Virginia, visited the camp and again 
the men demonstrated their progress. On this occasion a provisional battalion 
was formed, each company having 250 men, it being the first time that any officers 
or men of this camp had ever seen a company of that size pass in review. This 
battalion was also commanded b) Major Wise and was composed of ■•]■." and "F" 
Companies of the 318th and two companies of the 317th Infantry. Due to the 
fact that all of the men in the companies were not fully equipped, 100 men from 
"A" Company were attached to "E" Company and an equal number from "C 
Company to "F" Company. 

In tlie meantime the camp had been brought to a state of completion, and the 
advisability of preserving spare lumber, nails, etc., for a future rainy day had 
become apparent to all, the result being that an investigation underneath any of 
the barracks would have disclosed a most remarkable collection of paraphernalia. 
Unfortunately, some humorous member of the staff issued an order that nothing 
must be kept under the barracks, and that all lumber and other material then 
stored there must be neatly piled at the end of and ten feet from the buildings. 
The result was most astonishing and each company vied with the others to see 
which one would have the biggest pile. 

During the month of November, i<M7. the Hon. Newton D. Baker came to 
Camp l.ee and reviewed the entire division. The 2nd Battalion, 318th Infantry, 
under command of Major Sweeny, was chosen as the guard of honor, to welcome 
the Secretary on his arrival. It was unfortunately an extremely cold day. with 
a high wind blowing, which made standing around a rather trying ordeal. The 
horseless and gunless artillery and the blue denim negro battalion claimed that 
they carried off the honors of the day. but the infantry admit that never was there 
a better parade than the exhibition they made; and unquestionably the 318th 
Infantry, as in everything else, led them all. 

It may be remarked as a matter of interest that the papers subsequently 
stated that Secretary of War 1 laker reviewed the 80th Division, which filed by 
with perfect ranks and with all men fully equipped ! 

About the middle of November the War Department decided to rush certain 
division- overseas and. in order to bring them up to war strength, called for 
detachments from all of the other divisions in the East, with the result that in 
the end this regiment sent approximately 1,000 men to other organizations. It 
was, f course, very discouraging to men and officers to see the organizations 
broken up and scattered to the four winds; and from this time until early in 
April training was carried on with the companies greatly reduced in strength, 
averaging, a] ■proximately, 175 men. 



Tmuuno ""Over Here. 10 



I hi November 24th Major Jennings C. Wise was transferred to the ,114th 
Machine Gun Battalion, Captain Henry II. Burdick assuming command of the 
3rd battalion. Captain Burdick was commissioned major February 9, 1918, con- 
tinuing in command of the 3rd Battalion until the regiment was demobilized. 

Meantime, the psychiatrists hail been given an opportunity t" amuse them- 
selves, and officers and men alike had undergone the test for sanity, which o in- 
sisted of placing the dot in the part of the square which was in the circle, hut nut 
in the triangle, or in placing the dot in that part of the triangle which was in the 
square, but not in the circle; and deciding that very important question of "how 
mam legs lias a Korean?" — to which cine man replied: "I don't know, but it 
must he four, otherwise the man wouldn't lie such a damn fool as t < . ask. If 
you answered all of these questions and some others "t a like nature correctly, 
you to it 414. which proved you insane; if you didn't answer any "I them you 
got zero, which proved that you did not have enough brains to lie insane. Inter- 
mediate ratings showed intermediate degrees of insanity. 

Fortunately, nunc of the men or officers were permanently harmed as a 
result nf this ordeal; hut they had scarcely recovered from the effects of this 
form of diversion when the Government invented a new game, known as the 
War Risk Allotment. It proved to he a must worthy act of the greatest benefit 
to all members of the armed forces, hut one which, unfortunately, was launched 
before anybody could he found who understood its operation, as a consequence 
of which the spare hours of the evening were spent in trying to decide whether 
you came under (lass A. I'. or C, if you had a stepmother, two sisters, ami a step- 
brother. In the long run the result was usually determined by tossing up a coin. 

About the end of November practically everybody had been War Risked, 
am! all sat hack to take it easy and then along came the Liberty Loan, and the 
members ,,f this regiment decided that it was up to them to give not onh their 
services but also their mone) ; and. 111 spite of the fact that the members of the 
regiment came from a part of the country where money is not plentiful, they 
succeeded in three days' time in raising a most gratifying sum. A large portion 
of this represented the purchase by the individual soldier, who agreed to allot to 
the Government a portion of his pay each month. The regiment may justly pride 
itself that only one organization in the division exceeded its subscription and that, 
in that instance, a very large proportion of the amount subscribed was given by 
a small group of very wealth)- individuals. 

Shortly before Thanksgiving the War Department sent out instructions that 
30 per cent, of the men would he given leaves to go home for this holiday. 
Those s, > unfortunate as not to lie included in this percentage managed to fare 
very well in camp, as the company funds of all organizations were called upon to 
provide a real Thanksgiving feast. 

for some time our energetic and able adjutant. Captain Raymond, had been 
working quietly hut effectively to turn out from the members of the regiment a 
creditable show, having two purposes m mind: first, entertainment for the mem- 
bers of the regiment: and. second, a means of building up a regimental fund 



20 History of -listh Infantry Regiment, 80th Division. 

with which to purchase instruments for the hand and athletic equipment for the 
men. At Thanksgiving time lie announced that he was prepared to prove to the 
people of Richmond and Petersburg that Virginians were not only good fighters, 
but also good actors. The 318th Infantry Minstrels performed in Richmond on 
Thanksgiving night to a crowded and most enthusiastic house. It was voted a 
great success by all and accompli -lad its objects, proving financially profitable 
and helping to hring the various elements of the regiment together. 

From now on the training was carried on with great difficulty, due to the 
extremely cold and wet weather; but almost before anyone realized it. Christmas 
was at hand and again 30 per cent, were permitted to visit their families. The 
balance of the men were naturally greatly disappointed at having to remain; 
nevertheless they displayed that splendid spirit of "playing the game," which 
later on the fields ,,f France through all of the hardships of a most arduous cam- 
paign made possible the wonderful success achieved by the 80th Division. 
These men entered into the spirit of the season and decorated all the barracks, 
providing Christmas trees, and having a real old-fashioned Christmas in spite 
of ever) thing. 

The pleasure of this holida} season was considerably dampened for the 
officers and men of the regiment when they found that their much respected and 
beloved Colonel Briant II. Wells bad been ordered to Washington, as a member 
of the Army General Start', later to become a member of General lUiss' Staff, 
which preceded this regiment to France by some five months. It was the first of 
main such sacrifices which the regiment was called upon to make for the benefit 
1 d" the army as a whole. 

Lieutenant-Colonel Love, who had been on detached service at Fort Sill for 
some three months, and who was consequently it >t very well known to the 
members of the regiment, returned December 26th and temporarily took com- 
mand of tbe regiment, pending the opening on Januan 5. [918, of the 3d Officers' 
'braining Lamp at Camp I.ee. of which he was commandant. When Lieutenant- 
Colonel Love took up his duties at the 3d < ifticers' Training Camp, Major Albert 
i'.. Dockery, the ranking major of the regiment, assumed the duties of regimental 
commander until the arrival of Colonel Ulysses < i. Worrilow, United States Army, 
who was assigned to the regiment on .March 6th, but, being on duty at the 155th 
Depot Brigade, did not actually assume command until March 10. 1918. 

The citizens of Petersburg and the neighboring counties had frequently 
stated that the winters in this locality, while at times somewhat cold, were prac- 
tically free from snow, and that snow, if it fell, newer remained on the ground 
for more than twenty-four hours. It may be said, in this connection, that from 
about the middle id' December until the end of January there was at least a foot 
of ice and snow on the ground almost continuously, and the Xew Year was 
heralded in camp by the freezing of nearly all of the water mains, with the 
thermometer not far from zero. 

( In the 5th of Januan the 3d Officers' Training Lamp was opened and this 
regiment sent man\' non-commissioned officers and privates as candidates to this 



Training "Over He 



school. These were all picked men and their departure was a big loss to the 
regiment, although it afforded an opportunit) for main men to develop under 
the added responsibility which was placed upon them 

Due h > the excessively cold weather and the unusual amount of snow, the 
training during the months of January and February was considerably retarded, 
and ei insisted mainly of brisk hikes under full equipment, and numerous con- 
ferences indoors, interspersed with bayonet work on the outside. Later, as spring 
came on, the division started the construction of a divisional trench sector 
and much time was -pent by the regiment in the construction and occupa- 
tion of these trenches. The principal part of the remaining time was devoted 
in musketry training and firing on the range. 

About the first of April the new draft was received and sufficient men allotted 
tn the regiment to bring it up to war strength, i 14 officers and 3,720 enlisted men. 
these figures including medical and ordnance detachments. Nearly all of this 
draft was from Pennsvlvania and naturally looked upon the older men as vet- 
erans iif long standing. In order nut to retard the instruction of the older men, 
the new draft was put in separate barracks and given special instruction under 
selected officers and non-commissioned officers. These men showed the same 
spirit the original draft had displayed and. liv the end of a month, were con- 
sidered to have progressed far enough to permit their being absorbed in the 
companies of the regiment. 

For some time now there had been constant rumors of the division leaving 
fur "Over There." Finally, in the early part of .May, orders were received to 
be prepared to move mi short notice. The time thereafter was spent in check- 
ing and re-checking and checking again t" see that every man in the organization 
was fully equipped for overseas duty. Company property was carefully marked 
and labeled and fur many days the regiment was "on its toes" awaiting the signal 
tu move, until all began to fear that someone hail cried "Wolf !" Many, indeed, 
felt "all dressed up and in 1 place to go!" 

However, they awoke "tie morning tu find that part of the [60th Brigade 
had already entrained; and. shortly thereafter, orders were received fur the 
318th Infantry Regiment ti > leave, and mi the 20th of May at 1 I'. M. the regi- 
ment entrained fur Hoboken, X. J., all eager tu get away.

EN ROUTE FOR "OVER THERE" 



CHAPTER III 



Dodging Porpoises 




HE regiment left Camp Lee in five sections, at fifteen-minute intervals, 
all sections coming together again just outside of Washington, D. 
C, where the Red Cross provided everybody with hot coffee, 
biscuits and cakes. 

It was the first experience the men had had of traveling in troop 
trains; and, while at this time many thought it a rather lonesome trip and that 
sleeping in a day coach with three men to seats designed for four people was 
pretty tough, subsequent experience with car- labeled "40 Hommes oh 8 Chevaux" 
made this trip seem like unadulterated luxury. 

< In the morning of May 21, 1918, the regiment pulled into Jersey City, im- 
mediately detrained and marched aboard several waiting ferry boats. Persistent 
inquiry of every one who would listen failed to disclose the length of our stay 
in the ferryslips, so the various company mess sergeants were sent on a still 
hunt tor food for the hungry mob. In due course this was obtained and the 
danger of famine averted. 

About 1 1 A. M. orders were received for all hands to be aboard, and shortly 
thereafter we started up the Hudson, for most of the men it was the first 
glimpse of New York City and all were carefully giving it the once over. The 
enthusiasm of all was considerably dampened by the terrific driving rain which 
accompanied us up the river. 

After the ferry boats had proceeded but a short distance a large number of 
transports came into view. Every one immediately forgot the discomforts of 
the rain, while speculation ran rife as to which vessel the regiment would draw ; 
:md from all sides were heard remarks to this effect: "Ya, the big guy is that 
old German boat. Gee! wish we'd land her!" or "Look at that little Shrimp! 
< >h, boy ! won't she roll !" 

The boats now pulled into a pier once belonging to the North German Lloyd 
Line and all disembarked in short order, and sat around an unbearably long time 
inside, waiting further orders. Finally, about 2:30 P. M., we were told that we 
were fortunate enough to draw the Leviathan, formerly the Vaterland, the 
biggest, fastest, and at one time the most luxurious liner afloat. 

Shortly before Uncle Sam entered the war. the < lermans damaged the ma- 
chinery, especially the boilers, of this ship (as they thought, permanently ) , but 
it had been repaired by the navy, and was now operated by the navy and used 
for the transport of troops. Prior to this time it had made but one trip as a 
transport. 



Dodging I'or/toixrx. 



This regiment was assigned to that portion of the boat known as F, <• and H 
decks. It might be remarked here, that A deck is that portion of the ship nearest 
heaven: nobody knows how far down the lowest portion of the boat's anatomy is. 
but G and II decks represent that intermediate state between heaven and hell 
which is fringed by the water line and damnably unpleasant. 

The boat remained at the dock until 3 P. M. the following day, taking on 
ammunition, supplies and mure troops. These troops, while unquestionabl) most 
excellent men. were naturally of inferior quality to the 318th Infantry, and were 
therefore assigned to that section of the ship still nearer hell and high water. 

At 3 P. ML, May 22, [918 with much tooting of whistles, and under the 
guidance of some three sturdy tugs, the 1 >i^ boat slowly hacked out into the middle 
of the river and started on its long trip, with .Mine [0,000 odd troops, and several 
thousand sailors aboard, in addition to the crew, a grand total of about 13,500 
men and women; for, as luck would have it. there were some 200 nurses aboard. 

Now some genius, presumably working in the .Middle West, had evolved the 
idea that, in order to prevent the I Inns' agents from knowing that the Leviathan 
was transporting any troops, it was necessary to keep all troops below deck until 
the Statue of Liberty had been passed — this, in spite of the fact that for days 
the big boat, with its load of human freight, could be clearh seen by anyone 
noi too lazy to look. At any rate, it would have been a strategic triumph, if 
the Buns had all been blind, and it resulted in the first sight of the statue being 
i'n 'in off Staten Island. 

The first twenty-four hours spent aboard the Leviathan were as hectic as the 
first days at Camp Lee. The companies, each under the direction of one officer, 
went on board by one gang plank, while the other company officers and the first 
sergeants boarded ship by another route. As a consequence much time was con- 
sumed before officers were able to locate their men ; and when they had succeeded 
in working their way b\ devious routes to the distant compartments, many were 
completely lost in trying to get back to their own quarters. 

Ami while this confusion was at its height, mess call sounded. All officers 
had been furnished a copy of "How to Get to Ales- and Hack Again" (the latter 
proceeding not the least difficult). Unfortunately, few officers had had a chance- 
to study this document carefully— and one could not digest its contents hurriedly. 
Therefore, one saw "confusion twice confounded" — and darkness had settled 
over the troubled waters long before the harried officers got their men fed and 
back to quarters. 

But the worst was not yet. While in harbor, the water-tight compartment 
doors had st,,od open, facilitating traffic to a great extent. < )n weighing anchor, 
these doors were kept hermetically sealed, increasing the perplexities of guides 
fourfold. On the night of the 21st a talk had been given to the officers, ex- 
plaining the intricacies of the messing system, after which they had gone over 
the route, guide book in hand. But, in spite of all efforts, difficulties arose at 
the first meal at sea. on the evening of May 22nd, when we encountered the 
water-tight doors for the first time. 



26 Hixtori/ of SlStli Infantry Regiment, 80th Division. 

All went well going to the mess hall, but alas, ye return! Lines passed 
from the mess hall northeasl to stairway number 4, thence up to deck B, thence 
southwest to stairway 12. up to A deck and abaft to stairway 14. down to E 
deck, forward to stairway to. and down to G deck. At this point the mystic in- 
structions said: "Troops will then proceed by the nearest route to their respective 
sectors." 

Certainly and admittedly nothing could be simpler or more clearly expressed 
than that; but, unfortunately, all of the nearest and shortest routes were closed 
by water-tight doors, before each of which stood a stern and forbidding sentinel. 
It was quite 'a predicament for the first arrivals. It became a disaster for those 
arriving later, who, urged on by the vigilant M. I'.'s from the rear, were met in 
front by the early arrivals trying to <, r et hack. Careful search developed the fact 
that there was hut one exit and that there were already four separate lines of 
men passing through this passage in two directions, which passage was four feet 
in width. 

It may be said, in glossing over the intermediate harrowing details, that com- 
pany commanders reported I some five hours later 1 that at i) 1'. M. the last of 
their men had reached their compartments. 

Jt is a story of fact and on record that one member of this regiment, unable 
to find his way hack, passed through the mess hall four times, and was com- 
pelled by the watchful attendants to eat. much against his desire, four separate 
meals and, as a result, reached his compartment about <> I'. M. in a somewhat 
dazed condition. 

From the time the Ambrose Channel was left until nearing France, there 
was little of excitement to break the routine. The ocean behaved its very best 
and it was only by a wild stretch of the imagination that anyone could become 
si_asiek. For further details, write to Lieutenant Higgins. 

A number of men were detailed as guards, mess assistants, etc. The balance 
of the regiment had a brisk "setting up" drill and an "Abandon Ship" drill daily, 
and for a portion of the day were permitted to loaf on deck and watch the whales 
spout and the flying fish skim the waves. "Abandon Ship" drill formed perhaps 
the most diverting form of entertainment, as all were required to hurry without 
running and crowd without pushing; hut daily practice soon resulted in the 
breaking id' all records, in that it required only eleven minutes from the first call 
for all men to he at the muster station. 

After several days out reports were received of submarines in the vicinity 
and the course of the ship was constantly changed. Due to the -peed of the 
ship, no destroyers were attached until nearing France. As one man put it: 
"We don't aim to he bothered with no small fry." 

The hands of the 318th Infantry, 131st Infantry and 51st (oast Artillery 
played daih and most of the officers found time for an occasional waltz or fox 
trot. 

Lights were not permitted after dark except in the innermost inwards of the 
ship and none were permitted on deck after sundown.

"DODGING POKPOISES" 



28 Hist or 1/ of ->lSth Infnntrij Rrgiiiieiit, Sllth Dir-Jsimi. 

< )n the last night out, due to a report (if the torpedoing of a merchant vessel 
nearby, all officers were required to be on the alert throughout the night. But 
nothing happened and the convoy of destroyers (which had arrived during the 
night of May 28th) played about like a lot of happy children. 

About noon on May 30th land was reported in the distance and all hands 
gathered to the rails to see what could be seen. Shortly thereafter there came a 
Midden "boom" from the forward gun. followed in rapid succession by a number 
of "booms," and it was evident that there were a number of submarines about. 
There was danger around in plenty, but all hands conducted themselves with 
the greatest sang-froid. At the first "boom" one man cried: "Mark number 9!": 
another: "Set 'em up on the other alley!" The big boat put on all speed and 
made for the now distant harbor and the foam began rising over the bows of 
the convoy. Several conning towers could now lie seen with the naked eye, but 
the transport's speed, the accuracy of the gun crews (picked crews from the 
navy), and the quick work of the destroyers, prevented am disaster. Though 
it is not definitely known, it i- reported that the destroyers sank two of the 
enemy, with depth bombs. 



CHAPTER TV 



Training in the Sanier Area 



5T^"i^VV ^ i o 1 ' P. M., after a rather thrilling and certainly a mosl interesting 
a BU^ au finish, anchor was dropped in the beautiful harbor of Brest, and the 
<M *^fe^\ troops had their first glimpse of a French city. The regiment had 
f&srjy J). been lucky in coming on the Leviathan: it was again lucky in 
seeing the largest of the French naval liases, and one felt at home 
at mice by seeing practically every ship in the harbor flying the American flag. 
Another touch of home, especially for the Southerners, was added when presently 
enormous barges, manned by negroes, came alongside to coal the ship. Owing 
to her enormous size, she had to anchor in mid-harbor and unload from that point. 

The 1st Battalion was assigned the task of unloading the boat and it was 
no sinecure, with the men working all night in an atmosphere heavily laden with 
coaldust, stirred up by the negro stevedores. 

The regiment disembarked on the morning of May 31, [918, was carried 
ashore mi lighters, and marched at once some three miles to camp at Pontan \/i \ 
Barracks, built by Xapoleon 1 as a concentration point for his proposed invasion 
of England. Here life was not at its best. Water was very scarce and cooking 
facilities were meager. Furthermore, many men. as a result of daily hikes over 
the hard roads (there were no drill fields), found that garrison shoes were not 
fashioned for such wear and tear. For some inexplicable reason, all field shoes 
had been sent ahead in barracks bags t< ► Calais; s, , that, when the men finally 
got them, many were practically barefoot. 

There was, however, a reverse side to the shield, ddie regiment found itself 
in a region abounding in the most wonderful strawberries; and it was here that 
the men were first introduced to two most welcome allies — Yin Blani and 
\i\ Rouge. And the American soldier here showed his native gift of adapt- 
ability. Very few needed an interpreter in their associations with the French, 
whether it was to win a smile from a charming demoiselle or to purchase of some 
shopkeeper a souvenir, for which the soldier has a mania. 

But do not imagine that the regiment's stay near Brest was one of un- 
adulterated leisure. Various ami sundry details were constantl) called for to dig 
water mains, to unload and sort out baggage at the docks, to do guard duty and 
to perform the thousand and one other little tasks which mark- the inevitable 
r< iutine 1 if camp life. 

All told some four or five days were spent at this not unpleasant location, 
and departure was made by battalions with attached unit- as follows:

This was the first experience with "40 Hommes ou 8 Chevaux," and the 

novelty helped to tide over the many discomforts of French railway travel. There 
was considerable discussion a-- t< > how everybody, plus rations and equipment. 
could he placed in the allotted space, hut after many trials, men. rations and equip- 
ment were comfortably piled on top of each other and the various sections de- 
parted. It being the first experience of this kind, a journey which otherwise 
would have been a tiresome one, was made interesting by speculation as to the 
regiment's destination. 

It is believed that a careful survey of the railroad embankment by geologists 
would lead them to conclude that glass either formed one of the main con- 
stituents of a railroad embankment or at least tended to grow in that vicinity, 
for it must he remarked that "many a redskin hit the dust" between Brest and 
( 'alais. 

\fter a journey of some forty-eight hours the various units arrived at ( alais 
and marched through the city to a British camp known as West Camp No. 6. 
This camp, located on the English Channel, was a small city of tents and the 
grounds were covered with sand from three to six inches deep, giving it the ap- 
pearance of a young Sahara. Sand bags were carefully arranged about the 
tents to a height of two feet, to afford some protection from air raids, which 
weri unpleasantly frequent in that locality. 

Each unit remained at this camp about three days, during which time the 
barrack bags, containing many personal and cherished articles, were evacuated 
to an unknown storage depot, along with much extra equipment. Rifles and 
bayonets were turned in and replaced by British ordnance, and British gas masks 
and steel helmets were drawn. Company commanders and supply sergeants, who 
remembered all to,, clearly their frantic efforts during the last month at Camp 
I.ee to fullv equip their organizations, stood by in dumb and impotent astonish- 
ment at this ruthless confiscation of so many of the fruits of their toil. 

Later, officers who had been authorized and practically required to bring to 
France 250 pounds of personal baggage, found themselves confronted by an 
order stating that they would be limited to 50 pounds, exclusive of what they 
carried on their persons ; and it is believed that that section of France has scarcely 
a home which failed to obtain souvenirs of "The Mad Americans" in the shape 
of discarded cots, folding chairs, bed sheets and the many other articles which 
would have seemed incongruous in a dugout. Had it not been for the generous 
forethought of the divisional staff in obtaining a storage warehouse in Boulogne 



Training in the Samer Area. 31 

for surplus baggage, all officers of the division would have sustained a con- 
siderable financial loss. 

The 8oth Division, less its artillery, had been assigned to the 2nd American 
Corps, to be trained by British training cadres. These cadres were made up of 
officers and non-commissioned officers whose original units had been practically 
annihilated as the result of their man) severe campaigns. The division was as- 
signed to the Samer Area to be trained by the [6th i Irish) Division, B. E. F. 

(in lune 7th the movement by train from the city of Calais to the Samer

This area had previously been occupied by the Portuguese. After their fa- 
in ius charge near Merville in March. i<)iS, they had retired to this region for 
"rest and recreation." 

Intensive training under the direction of the 16th 1 Irish 1 Division, and later 
the 34th British Division, was at once begun. The training gi\en by the British 



:V2 History of 318th Infantry Regiment, 80th Division. 



was thorough and comprehensive. The training system for infantry devoted it- 
self principally t<i close order and disciplinary drill, gas instruction, bayonet 
exercises, and small arms practice, including grenade instruction, from all of which 
the regiment derived great benefit, though we did not at the time, perhaps. 
appreciate fully the benefits which this association with veteran British troops 
afforded us. After the long months of training at home, all were eager for a 
more active part in the war. Rumors constantly came in of the formation of the 
American Army in Eastern France — and we felt that nothing would satisfy us 
until we could train and light as a part of that organization. As a consequence 
the wonderful organization and discipline of the British Army were not at the 
time fully appreciated. As a rule, the American soldier came to esteem his 
British cousins more highly as his experience of war enlarged. 

In this area the regiment was equipped with the Lewis gun and two squads 
per platoon were given intensive instruction in their use and care. Here also 
the regiment drew its full allotment of transport. Rolling kitchens, ( \. S. I < ieneral 
Service) wagons, (1. S. limbers. Maltese carts and water carts, all of British 
pattern, were issued, with the full complement of animals. In this connection it 
is nut inappropriate to state that the wonderful success achieved by the 8oth 
Division in the 1st Corps and i st Army horse shows in February, 1919, was the 
direct result of the instruction in the care id' animals and transport received from 
the British in June and July, [918. 

It was during the stay in this area that there began the famous series of 
maneuvers and terrain exercises which continued without interruption, save during 
actual battle, until the regiment passed to the command of the S. ( >. S., in March. 
[919. The motto of the various staffs in the A. E. F. seemed to be: "When in 
doubt, maneuver." 

This area was about ten kilometers from Etaples and BOULOGNE, both 
British bases, which received almost nightlv visits from Boche raiders. All lights 
were screened at night ami all troop movements were carefully planned with a 
view to possible trouble from above. It was a long time, however, before all 
men overcame the conviction that each passing plane was hovering directly over- 
head. 

(•n lune 29th the regiment passed in review before His Royal Highness, 
The Duke of Connaught, and made such an excellent showing that the follow- 
ing oruer was published : 

150th I'.rigade. France. 30th June. 1918. 
********** 

It is with great pleasure that the Brigade C 1 unmander announces to the Brigade the 
fact that Ins Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, commented most favorably on the 
showing made by the Brigade in the review of the 29th instant, and that he desired an 
expression of his gratification communicated to the officers and men of this Brigade.

By command of Brigadier-General lanurson:

Because of this review, gossip (without which there is no army) had it that 
we must he going to fight with the British, otherwise so important a personage as 
the Duke would nut have reviewed the regiment. All ranks felt that after the 
long period of training at home the) were prepared for service "up tin- line," ami 
were very an\i< us to get a chance at the Boche. 

While in this area mam changes were made among the officer personnel, 
the beginning of a series of shifts which were eventually t" leave the regiment 
with very tew of it- original officers Lieutenant-Colonel James \|. Love, Jr.. 
was relieved as second in command of the regiment in June and assigned to 
II American Army Corps a- adjutant-general. July i. iqi8, Captain Senilis J. 
Raymond was relieved as regimental adjutant and appointed regimental opera- 
tions officer. Captain ( larence K. Goldsmith succeeding to the duties of regi- 
mental adjutant on the same date. < >n the same date Captain Robert M. Dashiell, 
commanding Company "K" since its formation, was relieved 'if assignment to the 
regiment t "ganize Replacement Company "B," Roth Division. 

In this area the British established officers and non-commissioned officers' 
schools at Bout ih Haut, to which many members of all companies were sent. 
In addition numerous local schools were inaugurated; while the American schools 
at Langres and elsewhere received their quota of students. Often companies 
were reduced to cue officer and a handful of non-commissioned officers present 
fi ir duty. 

It is believed that the arm) earned its salary in this area, even though it 
did iv >t lire a sin it in anger.

entrained for a 24-hour trip to a new and more advanced train- 
ing area. The detraining point proved to be Candas and the 
various units were billeted as follows: 

Regimental Headquarters 1 

I teadquarters * Company doxneville 

2nd Battalion ' 

1 st Battalion Montrelei 

3rd Battalion ) Fieffes 

Supply Company I 

Irwin the date of arrival in this area until July 22, 1918, the regiment pursued 
very much the same course of training as that adopted in the Samer area, under 
the supervision of a training cadre from the 19th Battalion, King'- Regiment, 
66th 1 British) Division, a most efficient and delightful set of instructors. 

< ircumstances differed to some extent, however, from those previously en- 
countered. The regiment was well within sound of the guns, whose distant 
rumbling could be heard every night and, at times, during the day; and air raids 
were of no less frequent occurrence than in the Samer area. ( In the night of 
July i_'th, a hostile airman, attempting to destroy the railroad passing through 
Fieffes, bombed the 3rd Battalion Transport, killing twelve of their horses. 
This was the first personal call by an enemy bomber on the 3rd Battalion, and, 
though no men were hurt, the explosions, coming as they did in the "wee sma" 
hours of the night, took them somewhat by surprise and caused a panic in the 
breast of one man. An English sentinel apprehended him a few minutes later. 
several miles away and still going strong. 

< >n the night of August toth, a monster new type of German bombing plane, 
driven by three powerful engines and carrying fifteen men. raided DOULLENS 
and made a direct hit on the headquarters of the 159th Brigade. Fortunately, 
only one officer was in the building at the time and he miraculously escaped in- 
jury. The only casualty was a sentinel at the gate, wounded in the knee by a 
machine gun bullet. 

As the Ilun was trying to escape, the searchlights caught and held him in 



Training in the Bonncrille Area. 35 

their lights and he was shot down l>\ a British plane, falling in flames near 
Regimental Headquarters at Rubempre. There are in the regiment enough 
aluminum rings, fashioned from various parts of the plain', to stuck a large 
jewelry store. 

I pun arrival in tins area, closer association than had hitherto existed was 
established with British higher headquarters, the regiment coming under the 
orders of the 5th Corps of their 3rd Army, holding the front in the vicinity of 
Vlbert. To conform mure closely to the British scheme of organization and 
thereby ensure complete harmony, seconds in command were appointed in each 
battalion, the following officers being designated: 

ist Battalion — Captain James S. Douglas, Jr. 
2nd Battalion- Captain Edward II. Little. 
3rd Battalion Captain Richard P. Williams. Jr. 
A tew days later. Division Headquarters ordered the addition to each brigade 
start' uf an assistant In the brigade-adjutant to correspond to the British stall 
captain. Captain Williams was. accordingly, relieved from duty with the regi- 
ment and attached to the 159th Brigade Headquarters, Captain Louis I. Koch 
becoming second in command, 3rd Battalion. Captain Lincoln MacYeagh was 
transferred from "L" Compan) tn duty at Division Headquarters, July 26. 

The British, to avoid a possible repetition of the disaster encountered in 
March. miS. had constructed five elaborate systems of trenches extending, in 
the 5th Corps Area, t«i a depth of some i<> kilometers in rear uf the front lines. 
These systems, within the 5th turps zone, extended almost due north and south. 
For purposes of convenience the British designated them as follows: The Green 
Line; the Purple Line; the Brown 1* orps) Line; the Led (Army) Line, and 
the Brown ( < .. II. Q. | Line. 

The Green Line was the outpost line, nearest to the enemy, and. within the 
Corps sector, passed just west uf Be.U'MOXT HAMEL, just east uf MisxiL and 
Martinsart, just west of Albert. 

The Purple Line was the line uf principal resistance in case uf a general 
attack and ran just east of Maillv-Maillet, Lxuli aa i.m i:k and BouziNCOURT. 
The Brown (Corps) Line skirted Beaussart on the east, passed east uf 
Forceville, west of Hedauville and east of Warloy. 

The Red (Army) Line passed east uf Louvexcourt, Lealvillers and 

I I \KI'i i.X\ 1 LI. 1 . 

The Brown I 1 i. II. Q.) Line ran just east uf Beauquesne and west uf 
Puchevillers and Rubempre. 

The Green Line was expected t" stop any local attack. In case "\ a general 
attack, the garrison uf the forward zone was to punish the enemei severely, 
though the main resistance would he offered by reserves in the Purple system, 
with liie other three lines in rear ready as rallying points in any emergency. 

In accordance with tin- general scheme uf defense and upon the arrival of 
the 318th Infantry within its sector, the 5th Corps issued order G. X. 3817, 5th 



:')(; History of -llsth Infantry Rec/iment, 80th Division. 

July. 1918, relative to the action of this regiment in case of an attack. The 
following extracts from this order are quoted: 

********** 
1. In case of attack on Third Army front the 318th American Regiment will be 

prepared, on receipt of orders from \ Corps H. Q. t<> : 

111 Occupy Alarm posts in the G. H. Q. (Brown) Line, allotted by V Corps. 
i Se< Para. 5.) 

( ii ) Support the Third Army (Rett) Line. 

1 iii ) Occupy any portion of the Third Army (Red) Line. 

( Llie above will be within the V Corps boundaries only.) 

_'. The 318th American Regiment will reconnoitre the ground in preparation for above 
1 Para. 1. 1 

The reconnaissance will be carried out in the following order: 

(i I The G. II. (J Line. 

(nl The area between the G. Ii. Q (Brown) Line and the Army (Red) Line. 

( iii ) The Army I Red ) Line. 

* * ****** 

5. (a) In ease of attack on the Third Army front, the 318th American Regiment 
will, on receipt of order-, from V Corps Headquarters, occupy Alarm Posts in Tactical 
localities 111 the G. II. Q. (Brown) Line within the \ < orps boundaries with — 
(11 (hie Battalion in each (British) Divisional sector. 
(ill 3 Companies of each Battalion in the line and one Company in reserve. 

********* 
llii The route for 318th American Regiment from Billets will he: 
Bo\ •- 1 \ 11 .1 .1 -\ MinrRKiw — Fme. in Roskl (row Roads, 
thence. 

( a 1 Li \ vi. in M \i-o\.

o 318th American Regiment will carry out the reconnaissance of the ( i LI. Q. 
(Brozvn) Line for Para. 5 above as soon as possible and will report — 

(al Winch of the Battalion Headquarters shown on map it will occupy. 
(lil Time which units would take to complete the move into position from the time 
the leading unit crosses the main Amiens-DoULLENS Road. 



< )n receipt of this order, great activity commenced, and Battalion and I om- 
pany Commanders spent days making reconnaissances and working out defense 
schemes. When it is realized that each battalion was assigned a sector of the 
• ',. H. (J. line normally occupied by a division, the often expressed hope that the 
Boche would never advance that far may he appreciated. 

But the regiment did n.>t devote its entire time during their period to defense 
schemes. Schools for teaching the tactical use of all weapons in the attack 
continued and all training aimed at keeping the aggressive spirit in the ascendancy. 



Training in tin Bonne vilU Area. 



The idea of an American Army being thrown on the defensive seemed to occur 
to no une. 

In accordance with a G. II. Q. I irder, Sunday, July 14th. Bastille Day, was 
announced as a day for competitive platoon drill within the regiments. After an 
all-day competition in the rain the following platoons of this regiment were de- 
dared winners in their respective battalions: 

[st Battalion -3rd platoon of Compan) I). 
2nd Battalion 2nd platoon of Company H. 
3rd Battalion — 4th platoon of Company M. 

Further competition among these three proved M Company the winner. 

On lulv iwth the Division held a held meet north of Doullens, in which 
all units of the division had contestants. In the competition between the best 
plato 'ii- of each of the twelve infantry battalions of the division, tin- regiment's 
entries finished in the following order: 

3rd Platoi m 'f I ) ( 'ompany Second. 
2nd Platoon of II (ompany Fourth. 
4th Platoon of M Company — Twelfth. 

The transport of this regiment took second place. 

There were other interests also to break the monotony of training. I he 
Yanks and the Tommies soon became on the best of terms, and entered into com- 
petition in many sports. Amongst others, the 5th British Corps staged a boxing 
contest at TOUTEXCOCRT, in which this regiment took third place in spite of the 
handicap of boxing under regulations very different from those to which our 
men were accustomed. 

Changes in the officer personnel of the regiment continued. Major Ilalpin. 
commanding 1 -t Battalion, was assigned to the duty of Assistant Division Quar- 
termaster. Captain Raymond was relieved as Regimental Operations Officer 
and placed in command of the 1 st Battalion. Captain Fisher, Personnel Ad- 
jutant, was transferred to Headquarters 2nd Corps, Captain Vivian T. Douglas 
left on detached service at the Army General Staff College. Captain Xunn was 
relieved as Supply Officer to become Personnel Adjutant of the Regiment. In 
the army all officers come to feel like- "the rolling -tone, which perhaps may 
gain no moss, but certainly acquires a lot of polish!"

CB VPTER VI 

Up the Lint" 



nti wrjf III'- regiment passed at last on July ->-'. 1918, from the long period of 

i^Pj p^Vi training in back areas to its first experience in the front lines. 

Za^i p*2» ' '"' transition was effected gradually. In general terms the train- 

Jjx j f.^> ing of American combat units serving with the British in Franc< 



was divided into three phases, as follows: 

I'n s.se " \"-— Training,' behind the lines. 

I'm \si-. "B" Training in the lines by attachment of individuals, of platoons, 
and of battalions, to British units. 

I'm \h "i " —Training in the lines by attachment of regiments to British units. 

Phase "i " was never carried out by this regiment, as the division was 
withdrawn from the British before Phase "B" was completed. 

The following extracts from a letter to Commanding-General, 80th Division, 
from the Adjutant-General, II American Corps, dated July 15, [918, outline the 
conditions of the service of this regiment in the line with the British from Jul) 
22nd t< 1 August Kith, "it which date the division was returned to the control 
of the Commander-in-( hief of the American Expeditionary Forces: 



It is contemplated that the units of your Division, in cast there be no further inter- 
ruption, will complete the firsl phase of training with the British I Phase " \ "1 on [ulj 22nd. 

I tnler present agreements between British and American General Headquarters, the 
I control of your organizations will rest with the British commanders of higher units 
during Phases "!'•" and "('" and at any time 111 case an} emergency arise. In brief, P 
"!'." covers service in the line by battalions, and Phase "I " by regiments. In view o( the 
situation now existing on your front, the exact time and method of passing from Phase 
"B" to Phase "C" cannot be laid down, and detailed arrangements as to the service must 

be determined to a considerabli extent by circumstances as they arise It is underst 1 

el veen these Headquarters and the British authorities that in general American organiza- 
tions shall serve with their organization complete and in accordance with the general 
principles established by American methods of training and tables of organization I be regi- 
ment when serving as an organization will have with it its Headquarters, Supply and 
Machine Gun Companies. All units will invariablj serve under the' command of their 
own officers. 

The normal method of attachment in the line will be by first sending up officers 
and enlisted men for short periods of about 48 hours; then 1>\ complete platoons for 



40 llistiir;/ of ->1Sth I iifarifnj Ucijiintiil . SOth Dirision . 

periods not exceeding three days; then by complete companies for similar periods; and 
finally by battalions and regiments, the total time to aggregate from five to six weeks. 
It is. however, desirable that if conditions permit the attachment by platoon be limited to 
tours of 48 hours, the attachment of companies lie eliminated, and thai Periods " 1'." and 
'"( In merged where practicable. The situation at the time may he such that variation 
trom either of the above methods will be advisable, in which case the question shall be 
taken up with these headquarters. 

It is probable that all your units may not be in the line at the same time and that in 
executing the part allotted to you of the defensive scheme of the British Army to which 
you are attached, it will be necessary for you in ease of a hostile attack to utilize under 
your command a part or all of your Division, depending upon the disposition of your units 
at the time. A representative from G-3. these Headquarters, will, 111 consultation with your 
Headquarters and the Headquarters of the Third British Army, arrange the necessary de- 
tails for the inauguration and carrying out Phases "P." ami "C." 

Upon completion of Phases "P." and "C," the Division will lie at the disposal of the 
Commander-in-Chief, American E P. and instructions concerning it will he issued later. 

In accordance with this general plan for the employment of the- 8oth Divi- 
sion, the 5th British Corps, to which the 318th Infantry was attached issued, 
cm July 21, 1918, Order < I. T. ~o. which follows:

Officers and men arrived in the forward zone in high spirits, feeling sure 
that at last they were to have a chance at the I'.oche ami to do their share towards 
bringing the war to an end. Hardened by the strenuous training of the previous 
two months, the arrival at last of the day of action was welcomed with enthu- 
siasm. 

Period la) Phase "II" of the British training program was carried out ac- 
cording to the schedule alread) referred to; and the regiment was fortunate 
enough to go through this four-day period without casualties. 

Meantime, on July 26th, the Machine Gun Company arrived in this area 
from HuBERSENT, detraining at I ton. 1. ins and proceeding to PuCHEVILLERS 
where they were attached to the 314th Machine Gun Battalion for training in 
the line. 

On July 27th Major Charles Sween) was relieved from command of the

The 37-mm. (.iun Platoon during this period remained in Bonneville 
fi ir further training. 

The 2nd Battalion, the first unit of the regiment to enter upon period lb) 
of Phase "B," was attached, on the night of July _vtli--'Sth. by platoons to the 
trench garrison of the 17th British Division, holding a sector of the line along 
the Axcke River between Martinsari and Borzixcot'RT in front of I hiepval

to the 17th Division for the period from July 31SI to August 4th. During this 
attachment, Second Lieutenant J. F. Clemmer, Jr., was mortally wounded while 
conducting his platoon into the line and died the following day in the Canadian 
Hospital in Doullens. The battalion also lost one enlisted man killed and seven 
h 1 iunded. 

From August 8th to 12th the [st Battalion was attached by platoons to

into the trenches, relieving the 1 4. 1 1 1 Royal Welsh Fusiliers at 11 P. M. Com- 
panies E and G were assigned to the forward zone in Avell^ \Y 1 on the

and concentrated machine guns on possible crossings. As a consequence the 
patrols were unable to force a passage of the river. A series of outguards held 
the railroad paralleling the river, which, because of direct hostile observation, 
could be approached only at night. 

During its tour of duty the 2nd Battalion performed the usual trench duties. 
including the digging of trenches, the erecting of wire entanglements and the 
constant and vigilant patrolling of the area, suffering the loss of one- man killed

CHAPTER VII 



We Join the American Army 

ELEGRAPHIC instructions from Headquarters, 5th Corps ( British), 
were received August 18th, specifying that all American units in 
line with the 38th ( Welsh) Division would be withdrawn im- 
mediately. This made impossible the completion of a trench tour 
by the 1st and 3rd Battalions as combat units. 
The regiment, less the 2nd Battalion, left the Rubf.mpre area on August 19th. 
and proceeded by marching to the vicinity of Domleger. The 2nd Battalion left 
BEAUQUESNE on the 20th and proceeded by marching to Bernavilli:. The sev- 
eral units were now located as follows: 




Regimental Headquarters \ 

}rd Battalion ' 

TT , _ Domleger 

Headquarters Company , 

Supply ( iompany ) 

Machine ( mil Company Berneuil 

2nd Battalion Bernaville 

1st Battalion Longvillers 



On arrival in this area, all units turned in their British rifles and bayonets, 
drawing American rides and bayonets in their stead. To many this was the best 
possible proof that the regiment would henceforth tight with other Americans— 
and enthusiasm was unbounded. 

After a two-days' stay in this area, the regiment began entraining near 
Domleger, the 1st Battalion, Headquarters, Machine Gun and Supply Companies 
leaving on the night of the 21st. and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions on the 22nd. 

It was known that we were leaving for the American sector, and, while 
everybody had begun to appreciate the wonderful work accomplished by the 
British Army and their most efficient organization, even yet they did not fully 
appreciate what a wonderful opportunity they had had in obtaining experience, 
both in actual lighting and in those very important questions of organization, in 
which the British excelled anything we had experienced to date or were to 
experience in the future. 

They therefore looked forward with great delight and much anticipation to 
joining the American Army then being formed in the eastern part of France. 
The trip proved to be a very trying one, taking some two days, and the men, 



We Join t/u Amciicini Armij. 51 

crowded in the open cars, suffered very heavil} from the excessive heat. No one 
knew for what particular section we were bound, and most of the units de- 
trained in the middle of a very Mack night in an unknown place, having no maps, 

not knowing whither they were to go from the detraining point, and with i te 

around to give them the necessary information. Truly, the first experience with 
the American Army was not one to arouse much enthusiasm or to offer much 
hope fi ir the future ' 

Eventually, the various billeting areas were determined and reached. On 
August 23rd the tst Battalion, Headquarters Company, Machine Gun and Suppl) 
Companies, having detrained at 1'oixit.on at 4 A. M., marched forty-one kilo- 
meters or more to their billets that day, while the 2nd and 3rd Battalions 
detrained at Chatillon-SUR-Seine on the 23rd, and. after spending that night 
en route, reached their billets the following day. The regiment was now located 
as folli ws :

1 I OLMIERS-LE-] I \UT 

I. and M Companies \

Machine ( run ( Company Chamb.un 

Supply Company Mexesbles 

This particular section of France was by far the most beautiful that had 
been yet encountered, well wooded, and full of game, and with plenty of room 
in which to move around. By this time the regiment had had sufficient experience- 
in billeting to be able to settle down in a very short time, and training was 
immediately taken up to get read) for the action which everyone realized was 
soon to come. Particular stress was laid on training with the Chauchat rifles. 
which were now issued to the regiment for the first time. Training proceeded 
for seven days when, quite unexpectedly, on August 31st, orders were received 
to proceed by marching to Daxcevoir with a view to entraining at Latrecey 
for another area. 

At Dani EV0IE the regiment was camped as a regiment in shelter tents, all 
units being in sight of each other. It was the first time the regiment had been 
together since arriving at Brest, and the first experience that it bad bad camping 

e open as a unit. It was a most inspiring sight and seemed like old-time

campaigning before the days when aeroplanes turned men into moles and bats, 
burrowing into the ground and flying only by night. 

[\vo days were spent here and on Monday, September 2nd. the regimenl 
broke camp and the various units marched to Latrecf.y and entrained for an 
unknown destination, which later proved to be Taxxois. The 318th was now 
in that section of the country which the French had allotted to the American 
Army, and, except for the French artillery attached to the American Army, only 
American troops were in evidence. 

On Augusl -'Nth Lieutenant-Colonel Charles L. .Mitchell had been assigned 
to the regiment, joining it at Recev-sur-I m Ri e, prior to its departure for 
Tannois. On September _'nd Major Charles Sweeny was relieved as Regi- 
mental Operations Officer and assigned to the command of the [st Battalion. 
Captain S. J. Raymond was relieved of command of the rst Battalion and placed 
in command of Company "G." Captain Edward II. Little was appointed < ipera- 
tii hi-. ( ifTicer. 

rile regiment remained in bivouac in ravines near I \nnoj? from September 
2nd to ~th. the men being required to keep carefully concealed during the day 
from possible aerial observation. During this period training was continued with 
the automatic rides upon improvised ranges. The necessity for concealment pre- 
vented practically all other training, except what could he done entirely in the 
w en ids or at night. 

< in the evening of September 7th the regiment marched a few kilometers 
111 nth to another area, the units being located as follows: 



Regimental I leadquarters 



1 leadquarters ( 1 unpany Resson 

[st Battalion 



Supply * 1 impart) 

2nd Battalion . .Culey 
Machine Gun Company \ 
3rd Battalion < <ew> 

Training 111 this area was hampered as it had been in the preceding one b) 
me necessity for constant precautions against aerial observation. If the Boche 
had seen the enormous troop concentrations in the American area at this time, 
he might have indicted serious losses upon us by aerial bombardments. 

For some time it had been rumored that a drive on the St. Miimi i. salieuc 
was imminent. The location of this regiment was southwest of, and about twenty 
kilometers from, the point of the salient, a position from which any part of the 
sector could be readily reached. 

It was at this juncture, apparently in preparation for a hasty reinforcement 
oi the attacking divisions in the St. Mihiel drive, if this should become neces- 
sary, that the famous "If we embus" series began. It consisted of hourly bul-

letins explaining in fullsome detail the latest and most approved methods of 
embussing. Towards the end, the game became so fast and furious that the 
bulletins could not be turned out with sufficient rapidity and were therefore 
supplemented by personal visits by, and blackboard instructions from, those higher 
up. It was all new and most interesting ( and helped pass the time away pleasant- 
ly). Unfortunately actual experience a little later on proved to be entirely dif- 
ferent from anything taught in the hereinbefore mentioned series. 

On September 12, 1918, the First American Army, under command of General 
Pershing, launched its first real attack with an assault on the St, Mihiel salient, 
a naturally strong position and one which the Hun, owing to his four years of 
undisputed control, had greatly strengthened. During this operation, wdiich was 
successfully terminated by the attainment of the army objective on September 
14th. this regiment, with the balance of the 80th Division, constituted the 5th Corps 
Reserve and were under orders to be prepared to move 1>\ embussing on one 
and one-half hours' notice. 

( in September 14th, at 7 P. M., the entile regimental field and combat 
trains left, as part of divisional trains, destination unknown, and on the following 
night at 7 I'. M. the regiment embussed at Culey, destination unknown. After 
a run of several hours the debussing point was reached and found to be in 
Relamee Woods, some three kilometers from Souilly. 

Four days were spent in this area, when orders came to proceed by march- 
ing to Bois la Ville, twelve kilometers distant. On this occasion the trains 
were sent as part of Brigade trains. The troops arrived the morning of the 19th 
about 4 A. M., having covered the twelve kilometers in seven and one-half hours. 
This slowness in reaching our destination was due to the frightful congestion of 
traffic, the almost total lack of guides, the slippery condition of the roads and 
the blackness of the night. It was a weary doughboy who finally dropped off to 
sleep in the midst of a pouring rain.

The First Call 

HE Bois la \ ille, on whose northeastern edge stands Fort du Regic.l 
lies six kilometers to the southwest of Verdi s and is what .he 
French call a "fortified cam])." forming a i art of that tremendously 
powerful defense line which the Boche would have found even 
more costly to attack' than Verdi \ itself proved to be. In thi< 
w in ids w ere iii >u ci mcentrated the whole of the 8oth Division, many heavy artillery 
units and numerous special units. The northern edge of the woods contained 
a large French ammunition dump, which, together with the many batteries, made 
attractive targets for Boche airmen. Several bombing raids were made while 
this regiment was concentrated here, but no casualties resulted. 

Five days were -.pent here. During this time many reconnaissances were 
made by the field and staff officers of the forward zone, held by the French, but 
sunn to lie taken over by the Americans for the great assault of the American 
First Army from the Meuse to the Argonne Forest. 

The 8oth Division, which had keen the reserve of the 51I1 Corps in the 
St. Miiiiii. drive, had now keen transferred to the 3rd Corps, Major-General 
I Sullard, a mimanding. 

( In the night of the 23rd of September orders were received to proceed by 
marching from the Bois la Vii.i.k to the Bois des Sartelles. When all units 
were ready, the men having their packs on their backs, word was received that 
the order to move was to be "held in abeyance." No one present knowing just 
what that meant in military parlance, everybody stood around in a "position of 
readiness" for some three hours until midnight, when word was received from 
the division that in this case "hold in abeyance" meant "disregard entirely." 

The next night, the 24th, the order to move actually went into effect and 
the regiment was in bivouac in the new area by midnight. 

The following night at 7 i '. M. the regiment moved from the Bins DES 
S \rtelles to a position south of the Bois Bourrus on the Germonville- 
Vigneville road, a distance of five kilometers. The route to this position lay 
through Fromereville. The traffic jam in this town was simply indescribable. 
Everything and everybody was trying to get through town at the same time. 
infantry, artillery, ammunition trucks, ration truck'., official cars, motorcycles and, 
apparently, everything else on wheels, and the two poor M. I'.'s were swamped. 
Ikel the Hun hut known and placed a couple of well directed shots in the town. 
the destruction would have keen frightful. But. "The Lord helps those who 
help themselves" — ami all troops were in bivouac by midnight.

. r >R History of -llSth Infantry Regiment, 80th Division. 

The next day, September 26, 1918, was the date on which the First American 
Army, in conjunction with the Fourth French Army on the left, was to attack 
from the Meuse River west to the western edge of the Argonne Forest. The 
Third Corps held the right of the First Army sector, with three divisions in line, 
the 33rd on the right, the 80th in the center, the 4th on the left. The Third 
Corps' front extended from the Meuse River on the right, or east, to Montfaucon 
on the left, or west. The Roth' Division was to attack with the 319th and 320th 
regiments of the 160th Brigade in line, each in column of battalions, the 150th 
Brigade (317th and 318th regiments) constituting the divisional reserve. 

The axis of the sector assigned to the 80th Division was a general line 
running northwest from Verdun through Bethincourt, thence north to the east 
of Brieulles on the Meuse. 

At 11:30 P. M., September 25th, the preliminary bombardment began over 
a forty-mile front. <uins of all calibres to the number of some 3.700 took part 
in the rain of steel and high explosive upon the Boche lines, line's heart beat 
faster, one's breath came quicker, in the presence of the most terrific and awe- 
inspiring bombardment yet witnessed in the annals of war. In comparison, the 
German reply was negligible. For six hours the fire from all available guns con- 
tinued, increasing in intensity, if that be possible, as the night wore on until, 
at 5:30 A. M. on the 26th, the hour when the infantry attacked along the whole 
front, it seemed that all the guns in Christendom were roaring civilization's 
answer to Germany's hid for world dominion. 

At 3:30 A. M. all battalion commanders read to their troops beneath a sky 
lit by a brilliant moon and by the flashes of countless guns the following message 
from the Division Commander: 

Headquarters Eightieth Division, Amekk w Expem thixaky Fori is 

France, 23rd September. 19,18. 
To the Members of the Soth Division: 

For over a year we have been learning how to fight. 

Within the next few hours, we shall have a chance to apply what we have learned. 
We form part of a vast army, consisting of over 300,000 Americans and an equal 
number of our French Alius. 

No enemy can withstand you, men from Pennsylvania, and West Virginia and 
Virginia. 

You are fighting for everything that makes life worth living, the safeguarding of your 
families and homes, and that personal liberty so dearly earned and so tenaciously main- 
tained for over a century. 

Go at them with a yell, and regardless of obstacles or fatigue, accomplish your 
mission. 

Make the enemy know that the Soth Division is on the map : make him know, when 
he faces vim in the future, that resistance is useless.

Maj or-General.

At 5 :3c) A. AI. ( "H" hour 1 the infantry along the entire army front advanced 
under the protection of a combined artillery and machine gun barrage. By 7 A. M. 
news arrived that the offensive, with ^no.coo American troops in line, was meet- 
ing with superb success am! that the t6oth Brigade had been especially successful. 

At 7o<> A. M. the regiment, which had breakfasted and had been in readi- 
ness ti move "ii a moment's notice since "II" hour, received verbal orders from 
the Brigade ( ommander to proceed to some ravines slightly northwest of the 
position then occupied. This was speedily accomplished and the regiment re- 
mained there until about 1 I'. M., when orders came to proceed to Mill 205, one 
kilometer south of Bl 1111 ;court and almost the same distance north of the 
famous le Mort Homme ("Dead Alan's llill"). Fortunately, most of the units 
hail managed to give their men a hit of lunch, so the move began under good 
auspices. 

The distance to llill 205 was only some nine kilometers. There was, how- 
ever, Inn "lie road available, ostensibly a one-way road, which, because of many 
attempts to make it a four-way road, very soon became a no-way road. The 
countn on each side of this road had been "No Man's Land"' for nearly four 
wears and, as a result of much wiring and heavy shelling, was almost impassable. 
As a consequence, the leading unit. Headquarters Company, did not reach Hill 
205 until 5 P. AI.. the other units some hours later. 

During the march to llill 205 the Hun aviators were very active and aggres- 
sive, so much so that the frequently reiterated newspaper assertion of Allied 
supremacy in the air appeared ludicrous. The Mun brought down four Allied 
balloons and two Allied aviators before the eyes of the regiment and. riving up 
and down the line of march two or three hundred feet above the marching 
troops, turned machine guns upon the columns. That casualties were so few is 
regarded as little short of miraculous. 

The t6oth Brigade had made rapid progress during the day, but towards 
night, found further progress impossible, owing to the inability of the 4th Divi- 
sion on our left to make an equal advance. Higher authorities determined that 
this regiment should be sent to the assistance of the 4th Division. At 5:15 P. AI. 
a message was received to proceed at once to Bi rniNCOURT. Arriving there at 
approximate!) 6 I'. AI.. verbal orders were received from the Commanding 
General of the 159th Brigade to proceed at once to Cuisy, about six kilometers 
northwest of BethiN'COURT, where the 4th Division had established its Head- 
quark 1 5. 

The usual but. let it be hoped, not inevitable traffic jam existed at Bethin- 
COURT and much valuable time was spent in trying to get through the congested 
area. Finally O is-, was reached by the leading element a little after midnight 
on a pitch black, cold, rainy night. The succeeding units arrived at various 
tunes up to 3 A. AI. The troops were turned off the road into a ravine, to get 
such rest as might be pi ssible. The Commanding 1 IfHcer of the regiment reported 
to the Commanding General, 4th Division, for orders and established his 1'. C. 
I I 'ost of Command) on the church steps in Crisv.

DOWN IN FLAMES 



62 Bistort/ of 3lSth Infantry Reijinunt, Si'ifh Dirisimi. 

It had been a very trying day. The men had been able to get very little 
sleep the previous night, had marched, all told, some seventeen kilometers, had 
been under arms almost continuously for fourteen hours and had managed to 
get only one real meal, namely, breakfast. 

Cuisy proved to be under almost continuous shell fire and the command 
suffered a number of casualties during the two days and nights spent there. 

On the morning of the 27th orders were issued to the regiment to be pre- 
pared to move at any moment. That night numerous orders were received from 
the Headquarters, 4th Division, only to be countermanded a little later. Finally, 
about 2 A. M. of the 28th, orders were received attaching this regiment to the 
8th Infantry Brigade, 4th Division, and shortly thereafter the Regimental Com- 
mander was ordered to send out one company on outpost to the west of Cuisy 
to cover the left flank of the 4th Division, no information having been received 
as to the location or progress of the 70th Division on its left. The information 
obtained by this company formed the first definite news concerning this division 
which the 4th Division had received. 

At about 2:30 P. M. of the 28th the Commanding Officer. 318th Infantry, 
received verbal orders from the Commanding General, 8th Brigade, to attach one 
battalion to the 50th Infantry of that Brigade, and to proceed with the balance 
of the regiment to Septsargks. taking up a position to the north and northwest 
of that town, with a view to Supporting an attack to be launched on the morn- 
ing of the 29th, and also ti > resist possible counter-attacks from the northwest, it 
having been reported that the 79th Division was meeting with very stiff resistance. 

At 3 P. M. the 1st Battalion, under command of Major Sweeny, with two 
37-mm. guns and four Stokes mortars attached, proceeded to join the 59th 
Infantry, at that time located to the east and northeast of Septsarges. 

At 4 3'. M. during a pouring rain the balance of the regiment proceeded to 
Septsarges. The 2nd Battalion, with Machine Gun Company attached, took up 
a position on high ground to the northwest of Septsarges, the 3rd Battalion tak- 
ing up a position to the north and northeast. The positions were taken up in 
the dark of an unusually wet and black night, without the advantage of a pre- 
liminary reconnaissance, and were consequently slightly modified the following 
day. Since the 8th Brigade and the 58th Infantry already had their P. C.'s in 
Septsarges, this regiment's P. C. was established in the only available shelter 
left, the school building which, being practically intact, offered a most attractive 
target. 

About 2 A. M. September 29th, the attack older of the 8th Brigade was 
received, extracts from which follow: 

2. This Brigade, reinforced by the 318th Infantry and two batteries of the 16th F. A. 
will pass through the 7th Brigade to-morrow morning ( September 29th) and continue the 
advance to the Army objective. Upon arrival on this line, the position will be immediately

MAJOR SWEENY AND HIS HEADQUARTERS IN THE ARGONNE 



<U History of SlSth Infantry Regiment, 80th Division. 

Battalion and one battery Kith F. A., will pass through the sector held by the 47th Infantry. 
It will place two battalions in the front line, one battalion in support, and the remainder 
of regiment in the regimental reserve. 

(c) The 318th Infantry, less one battalion, and the t2th M. <i. Battalion, less two 
companies, will constitute the Brigade reserve One battalion of the 318th Infantry, and 
the regimental .Machine Gun Company, will follow the 58th Infantry at a distance of one 
kilometer clone the left border of the division sector, prepared to resist hostile attacks 
from the northwest .aid west, line battalion, 318th Infantry, will follow approximately one 
kilometer in rear of tin center of the Brigade. 

At 5:30 A. ML, the attack started, making but little progress because of the 
very heavy artillery and machine gun fire encountered. Most of the artillery 
fire came from the heights on the east bank of the Meuse. 

The 1st Battalion, attached t" the 59th Infantry, bad been ordered to follow 
in rear of the gap between the two battalions of that regiment which were at- 
tacking side by side. Due to the failure of these two battalions to make the 

progress anticipated 1 the sector of this attack was in a heavily w led area, 

known as the Bois Brieuelles), the 1st Battalion soon found themselves pushed 
well to the front, forming the apex of a triangle. Their position was an ex- 
tremeh perilous one, from which the splendid judgment, great coolness and 
personal bravery of Major Sweeny, the battalion commander, rinalh successfully 
extricated litem, after they had suffered very heavy casualties. 

Meantime' the 2nd Battalion, Major Wise commanding, had advanced along 
the left of the 4th Division's sector in support of the 58th Infantry in its attack cm 
the Bois de Fays. Progressing about one kilometer, it was halted by the failure 
of the attacking battalions to progress, and was then ordered to organize Mill ji»5 
and cover the gap between the left flank of the 4th Division and the right flank 
of the 79th Division. For five days the 2nd Battalion held this position on Hill 
295, exposed to frontal and enfilade lire from 77s and 5.9s, to say nothing of 
harassing lire from machine guns. Main' casualties were suffered, among them 
Captain John Crum, who had commanded "F" Company since its organization. 

The 3rd Battalion. Major Burdick commanding, being ordered to follow one 
kilometer in rear of the center of the attacking brigade, moved tip into the 
Bois ni. Septsarges and came under heavy shell tire which inflicted a number of 
casualties. The attack of the Nth Brigade having proved unsuccessful, this bat- 
talion was ordered back to its former position in front of Septsargi S. 

The time from September 29th to X A. M., < >Ctober 3rd. was -pent in im- 
proving positions and 111 sending out reconnaissance patrols. These patrols 
gathered much valuable information for the Commanding General of the 8th 
Brigade, id' which he was generous enough to make official mention to the Com- 
manding 1 Ifficer of this regiment. 

While during this period only the 1 st Battalion had actual clashes with the 
Hun, tlie shelling was so constant and casualties so numerous as to make it a very 
trying period for the men and officers, without the relief of action and with

little opportunity for rest. The transport personnel during this time distinguished 
themselves by their devotion to duty, and. by bringing the trains up to the troops 
(in the case of the i st Battalion right up to the front line) made it possible for 
the men to get hot meals. 

At 8 A. M., < )ctober 3rd, orders were received for the regiment, less the 
1st Battalion, to proceed by marching to the trench system some two kilometers 
southeast of Cuisy, a total distance of live kilometers. The necessary orders 
were issued for the various units to proceed by the most practicable route to the 
designated area, and at 10 A. M. the Regimental P. C. was moved from Sei't- 
sarges to the new area. The various units were all in bivouc by -' P. M. of 
the 3rd. 

At 1:30 P. M.. October 3rd. the Commanding General. 150th Brigade, held 
a conference with Commanding Officers of 317th and 318th Infantry Regiments 
and their majors, and verbally outlined a proposed attack to be made by the 
150th Brigade on the morning of < Ictober 4. 1918, at 5:30 A. M. Due to the 
scarcity of paper and ink, there was but one map available per regiment, but 
the majors were instructed to make at once such personal reconnaissances as 
might be feasible. It being about nine kilometers to X vntillois, reconnaissance 
before dark was impossible. Meantime, preparations were being made to give 
the men a hot meal. 

The final Division and Brigade orders not having been received by dark. 
the regiment, less the 1st Battalion (still attached to the 50th Infantry), pro- 
ceeded to its positions in and about Nantillois. The general understanding was. 
that the 3rd Division, which had relieved the 70th and was then holding a gen- 
eral line slightly north of Xantillois, was to swing to the west, the 4th Division 
was to swing slightly to the east, leaving a gap of approximately two kilometers. 
to be taken over by the 80th Division. This Division had been relieved by the 
33rd Division on September 29th, and had been concentrated southeast of I UISY 
for four days in reserve. The 150th Brigade was to make the attack, with regi- 
ments side by side, and the 100th Brigade was to be in reserve. 

Many had considered that the violation of the rules of the road and the 
resultant traffic congestion had reached the acme of perfection, but the per- 
formance on the occasion of the march to Nantillois made all former experi- 
ences poor runners-up. 

The 2nd Battalion, the assaulting unit, left the ravine southeast of Cuisy 
at 8 P. M., and after having covered nine kilometers, managed by much effort 
to reach Nantillois about 2 A. M., on the 4th. relieving two companies of the 
4th Infantry, 3rd Division, and taking up the assaulting position with its right 
resting on the eastern edge of Xantillois and its left one kilometer to the west. 
in liaison with the 3rd Division. Company "F," Lieutenant l.akin commanding, 
on the right and Company "G," Lieutenant Cabell commanding, on the left, 
comprised the first line along the reverse slope of a slight ridge north of the 
town, with Companies E and H. Lieutenant Neubauer and Captain Moore com- 
manding, on the right and left, respectively, of the second line. The 3rd Bat- 



The First CM. 



talion reached the vicinity of N'axtillois about 4 A. M. and took up a posi- 
tion as the supporting battalion in rear of the 2nd Battalion. The Regimental 
P. C was established at midnight in Nantillois about 300 meters in rear oi 
the "jump-off" pi >sitii in. 

At 4 A. M. a conference was held at the Regimental !'. C. and final in- 
structions were issued to unit commanders. 

The barrage table was changed at the last minute, with resultant misunder- 
standing, and the attack was twenty minutes late in starting. The barrage was 
actuallj laid down at 5:35 A. M. and, some fifteen minutes later, the Nun put 
down a counter-barrage which made our own barrage seem like the effort of 
a small boy. 

In spite of the inevitable misunderstandings due to lark of orders, maps and 
personal reconnaissances, the 2nd Battalion went "( Iver the Top" in good order 
and, advancing nearly two kilometers, succeeded in pushing their two leading 
companies into the I'.ois des Ogons. This proved to he an impossible place to 
hold, for the following reasons: First, the 317th Infantry was unsuccessful in 
getting off on schedule time and left our right flank in the air: second, the 3rd 
Division on our left also failed to advance as expected, leaving our left in the 
air; third, the exposure of our right and left flanks made it necessary to throw- 
out strong detachments from the support battalion to cover these gaps and in- 
voked them in the attack much earlier than should have been necessary; fourth, 
the failure of flanking units to advance resulted in the two advance companies of 
the 2nd (attacking) Battalion being fired upon by machine guns from both 
rlanks as well as in front, and, in addition, left them at the apex of a triangle, 
enabling the Boche to concentrate on them with his artillery. The inevitable 
result was that the advance elements of these tw<> companies suffered very heavy 
1 tsses within the first two hours of the fighting, and the companies were com- 
pelled to retire about one kilometer to the cover of Hill 274, which position was 
al once organized for temporal) defense, it being planned later in the day to 
advance again in conjunction with flanking units. 

I p to noon of ( Ictober 4th a total advance of about one kilometer had been 
made, which advance had cost the 2nd Battalion the loss of all of its company 
commanders and fully 60 per cent, of the remaining officers in casualties. The 
3rd Battalion had also suffered very heavily, having taken up a position on the 
right of Hill 274 to close a gap between the 2nd Battalion and the unit on 
its right. 

The shelling from the east hank of the Meuse continued throughout the day. 
It was especially trying to our morale, in that it came from the right flank and 
light rear and gave the troops the feeling that they were being fired upon b\ 
their own artillery. 

( Mi the afternoon of I ictober 4th. information was received from the Com- 
manding Genera] of the 130th Brigade that one battalion of the 310th Infantry 
of the idoth Brigade was attached to our regiment and would make an attack 
that afternoon under cover of heavv artillery tire. This attack was launched 



68 History of 3 18th Infantry Regiment* 80th Division. 

late in the day. Two companies of the 2nd Battalion, 319th Infantry, succeeded 
in reaching the Bois des Ogons. These units, together with elements of the 
317th and 318th Infantry, found the position untenable and were forced, under 
cover of darkness, to retire to a position in a ravine south of the woods. 

< hi ( Ictober 5th the 1st Battalion, 318th Infantry, was relieved from attach- 
ment to the 59th Infantry, and put at the disposal of the Commanding General 
of the 130th Brigade for co-operation in the attack upon the Bois des Ogons. 

Shortly after dawn another attack was launched under cover of a heavy 
artillery concentration on the Ferme de la Madeleine and the intrenched posi- 
tion north of the Bois des < >GONS. This attack was to be supported by tanks, 
which, however, found it impossible to go forward in the face of the heavy 
hi istile lire. 

An amusing incident occurred at this time. When the tanks were stopped, 
the crews started rapidly to the rear. Lieutenant Higgins, commanding a platoon 
of the Supporting Battalion, saw them coming and thought the lioche had broken 
through, whereupon he at once began to heave hand grenades at them, which, it 
is reported on good authority, completely deranged what little morale the crews 
still retained. 

On the afternoon of the 5th the 2nd Battalion, 319th Infantry, under com- 
mand of Major James .Montague, launched an attack which, though at first un- 
successful, later under cover of darkness succeeded in getting the troops into 
the woods and holding the ground gained. The 3rd Battalion, 318th Infantry, 
supported this attack, the 2nd Battalion remaining in position on Hill 274 to cover 
the left flank. 

Meantime the 1st Battalion (318th). in co-operation with the rest of the 
150th Brigade, made an attack through the Bois i>i Fays from the 4th Division 
sector with a view to flanking the Bois des < >GONS from the east. They en- 
countered much hostile machine gun fire from nests which had not been mopped 
up bv the 4th Division, and heavy artillery fire from the front and right flank. 
However, they gradually worked their way forward, destroying many machine 
gun nests, and took up a position on the west and northwestern edge of the 
Bois de Fays, from which they were unable to emerge because of the terrific con- 
centration of hostile artillery and machine gun fire on the fringe of the woods. 
In this operation Lieutenant Hort was killed. They held this position until re- 
lieved by a battalion of the 4th Division the following day and were then ordered 
by the Commanding General of the 159th Brigade to withdraw to the former 
position southeast of Cuisy. 

Sunday, October 6th, was spent in consolidating the ground gained and in 
reorganizing the units. Late in the afternoon word was received that the 319th 
Infantry was to relieve this regiment. At midnight October 6-7 this relief was 
completed and the regiment returned to the trenches southeast of Cuisy. 

I pon the relief of the Brigade on October 7th, the Division Commander 
sent the following letter to all concerned :

Many recommendations were made for the Distinguished Service Cross, but 
because of the lack of definite knowledge of how to properly submit these recom- 
mendations, very few of them were approved. The regiment takes a just pride 
in the following awards as published in (ieneral Orders from (ieneral Head- 
quarters, A. E. F. : 

See., ml Lieutenant Charles K. Dillingham, 318th Infantry. For extraordinary heroism 
in action mar Nantillois, France, 6th October, 101S 

Lieutenant Dillingham, on duty as battalion intelligence officer, twice volunteered and 
led a patrol through woods known to be occupied by hostile machine guns Working his 
way through artillery and machine gun fire, he succeeded in ascertaining the position 01 
units on the right and left of his own. 

Throughout thi action around Nantillois and the Bois des Ogons this officer was a 
constant inspiration to his men by his devotion to duty and disregard of personal safety. 

Private Eddie Bann, Company '"M," 318th Infantry. For extraordinarj heroism in 
action in the Bois des Ogons, France, _jt li October, 1918. 

Private Bann was acting as stretcher hearer with another soldier who was shot by 
a sniper Going out under fire from the sniper, he captured the latter with the aid of 
another man. While taking Ins prisoner to the rear. Private Bann found a wounded man

heroism in action near Bois D] Fays, France. 5th October. 101N. 

While leading a patrol Sergeant Johnson encountered terrific machine gun lire, which 
forced him to order his patrol to cover. He then advanced alt me. working his way to the 
nest which he destroyed, and allowed for the continuance of patrol. Later the same day- 
he braved the perils of an extremely heavy barrage to bring to safety a wounded comrade 
who was lying three hundred yards in advance of the lines.

CHAPTER IX 

Reorganization 

( >LL< )\\ INI I the relief of this regiment on the night of October 6th- 
7th by the 319th Infantry, the various units reached the designated 
assembly area southeast of Cuisy about 5 A. M., October "th, 
mentally and physically exhausted, and. due to the numerous casual- 
tics among the officers ami non-commissioned officers, rather badly 
disorganized. From September 20th to October 7th this regiment had been 
under constant shell tire (part of the time a most concentrated and terrific fire), 
and had had numerous casualties daily. 

• Ictober 7th was devoted to resting and reorganization. Revived by a few 
hours of uninterrupted sleep and three square meals, the morning of October 8th 
found the men again in good spirits and prepared for any eventuality, though they 
were greatly in need of a few days' real rest. Orders were received that morn- 
ing to move to the I'.ms in: Moxnwri on, immediately south of what at one 
time comprised the town of Malancourt, about five kilometers from the existing 
bivouac. This march was made without interruption and early in the afternoon 
the men had their "bivies" up. Orders were then received to immediately re- 
equip the regiment and be prepared to move on short notice. 

The day after the regiment was relieved, several officers rejoined the regi- 
ment from various Army Schools. At about the same time a number of new 
officers were assigned to the regiment. Even with this addition, the battalions 
averaged less than two officers per company. 

On October 8th Colonel Ulysses G. Worrilow was relieved from command 
of the regiment and ordered to Fromereville, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles L. 
Mitchell succeeding to the command. 

The regiment's strength was so greatly reduced that companies were at 
once reorganized on the basis of three small platoons per company, and a certain 
amount of drilling was carried on under adverse conditions. 

On October nth at 4 1'. M. orders were received to proceed at once by 
marching, keeping off the road in so far as possible, to the Bois de Hesse — a 
distance of some eight kilometers. The regiment was under way at 5 P. M. and 
in cam]) at 10:30 P. M., after having made a very strenuous hike across country — • 
this area being a devastated No Man's Land, a continuous series of shell holes, 
destroyed trenches and hidden wire. 

The regiment remained in bivouac in the Bois de Hesse until 5:30 A. M., 
October 14th, at which time it proceeded by marching to Dombasle and there 
embussed for the following billeting areas:

A new issue of clothing with overcoats was received, and Browning auto- 
matics and machine guns were also issued. Training was continued and practice 
held with the new weapons, which at once won the confidence and aroused the en- 
thusiasm of the men. This was particularly the case with the Browning auto- 
matic. The Lewis gun, which had been used 111 the British area, was too cumber- 
some a weapon to enjoy great popularity among the infantrymen armed with it : 
while the American adaptation of the French Chauchat rifle, chambered for 
American ammunition, was unpopular because of its tendency to jam and to 
break essential parts. The Browning automatic, on the cither hand, combined 
the merits of lightness with durability and accuracy. 

The area now occupied showed the effects of the brief German occupation 
in [914 in the shape of many ruined buildings; but it was such a vast improve- 
ment over the "abomination of desolation" just witnessed in Bethincourt, 
Malancourt, Cuisy, Septsarges, Montfaucon, Nantillois and the whole of 
that devastated area that one barely noticed the mute witnesses of the passing 
of the Hun. 

The period of ten days -pent here proved sufficient to fully re-equip the 
regiment and to give the men the rest they had so justly earned. 

At 7 A. M., October 24th, the regiment was assembled at Pretz and em- 
bussed for [slettes les Petites, in the Argonne Forest, arriving there at 1 1 A. M. 

It was at once assigned a bivouacing area in the w Is, an almost ideal location 

for camping. 

On October 24th the Corps and Divisional orders for the next offensive 
arrived and preparations were at once made for a quick move. The regiment 
was on its toes for six days, each day expecting to move the next morning. 1 he 
air was electric with' anticipation of the coming attack which all expected to be 
even more successful than the drive of September 26th. The Americans had been 
hammering the Boche now for a month without cessation and the whole battle, 
line from the Meuse to the N'orth Sea was witness to the fact that the Allied 
forces had gained and meant to maintain the mastery of the situation. While 
pessimists still existed who foresaw a war lasting until 1920, many were found 
who were willing to bet that the Hun would capitulate before the year was out. 
Meantime, while awaiting the order to move forward for the new attack. 
the regiment's attack formation was considerably modified. Recent experience 
had demonstrated that the formation- used in the previous drive did not posses; 
.sufficient elasticity for the maneuvering requisite to success in the war of move- 
ment which had =0 suddenlv succeeded the long period of stationary warfare. 



74 History of 318th Infantry Regiment. 80th Division. 

The change involved the reorganization of the platoon as the combat unit. 
Heretofore, the platoon had consisted of four sections, two of which consisted 
of automatic riflemen and riflemen, one of rifle grenadiers and one of bombers 
( hand grenadiers). The new formation provided for a platoon of forty-nine men, 
divided into two identical half-platoons of three squads each — a rifle squad, an 
automatic rifle squad, and a grenadier squad. This made the combat unit a half- 
platoon which, because of its smaller size and its possession within itself of all 
the infantryman's weapons, gave the regiment an organization superior to the 
old platoon in the following respects: greater adaptability to changing condi- 
tions; greater mobility and maneuvering power; greater susceptibility to control. 

At the time this change was adopted, a number of replacements, most of 
them untrained or at best only partly trained men. were assigned to the regiment. 
The ease and rapidity with which these men were made familiar with the new 
formation and the commands and signals adopted for maneuver therewith, spoke 
volumes for its practicability and the regiment awaited further action, confident 
that great successes would be won with fewer losses. 

Lieutenant-Colonel Charles I.. Mitchell. Major Henry 11. Burdick and 
Captain Edward II. Little developed and worked out the details of this reorganiza- 
tion of the basic combat unit.

CHAPTER X 

The Second Call 

JJFTER remaining in a state of uncertainty for nearly a week in the 
woods near Islettes les Petjtes, definite word was at last received 
that a concerted attack along the whole American front was to be 
made on the morning of November 1st. With this news came the 
disappointing intelligence that this Brigade was to be again called 
upon to till the role of divisional reserve, a disappointment to officers and men 
alike, who felt that the three weeks of rest and reorganization had put the regi- 
ment in a state of efficiency unsurpassed by anv unit in the army. 

Colonel Harry C. Jones was assigned to command of the regiment on October 
29th. .A number of other officers also reported, giving the regiment almost its 
entire complement of officer personnel. The regiment was ready for action as it 
never had been before — and all keenly regreted the passive role allotted for the 
beginning of the attack. 

On ( October 30th the regiment was ordered to proceed by marching on the 
following day to a location immediately south of Cornay, a distance of twenty- 
five kilometers, via the famous ravine Le Four de Paris, which the French by 
a surprise attack had taken from the Boche in 1017. 

The march began at 8 A. M., October 31st. The greater part of the march 
lay through the Foret D' Argonne, the scene of much bitter fighting within the 
past few weeks. Great delay was caused by the crossing of the line of march 
by the 77th Division, which was to attack on the left of the 80th Division, and 
the men did not reach their bivouac until P. M. that night, after being under 
arms some thirteen hours. Camp was made in the open, under cover of rising 
ground midway between Cornay and Chatel-Chehery. 

The roar of the guns continued throughout the night and at 5:30 A. M.. 
November 1st, the attack was launched along the entire front. In the 80th 
Division's sector, the 319th Infantry attacked on the right in liaison with the 
2nd Division, the 320th Infantry on the left in liaison with the 77th Division. 

The attack of the 310th Infantry and the 2nd Division made rapid headway 
during the day, whereas the 320th Infantry ami the 77th Division encountered 
most stubborn resistance and advanced only a short distance, so that at the end 
of the day the Divisional Front, originally facing almost due north, became 
greatlv extended and faced practically northwest. 

Meantime, this regiment had been ordered forward a distance of some five 
kilometers to a position 111 some ravines about 500 yards north of Fleville. Due 
to converging streams and the existence of but one available bridge, it was neces- 



The Second Gal 



sarv to adhere to the road; consequently the march, begun at 6 P. M., was ended 
only at i A. M. of the 2nd, seven hours being required to cover five kilometers. 
The days of traffic jams were not yet past! 

To prevent too great an extension of the front held by the 319th Infantry 
and to relieve the pressure still retarding the 320th [nfantry, the Division Com- 
mander placed the 317th Infantry at the disposal of the Commanding General 
of the 160th Brigade and orders were issued that on the morning of the 2nd the 
317th [nfantry should attack between the 319th Infantry and the 2nd Division, 
wink' the 319th, by an attack in an almost due westerly direction, would assist 
the advance of the units on its left by flanking the hostile positions. When the 
317th finally got into position and attacked from the neighborhood of [mecourt 
at about to A. M. on November 2nd. the following peculiar situation existed: 
the 317th Infantry was farthest north and was advancing in a generally north- 
westerly direction; the 320th Infantry was farthest south and was attacking due 
north; while the 319th Infantry, maintaining contact with the ,117th and 320th, 
was attacking almost due west. 

The result was that, as the afternoon were on. the 317th Infantry gradually 
extended its front across the entire Divisional sector and by a rapid advance 
took the town of Buzano before nightfall. This result having been anticipated, 
the Division Commander turned over the command of the sector to the [59th 
Brigade at 5 P. M., on November 2nd. 

Brigadier-General George H. Jamerson, who hail commanded this Brigade 
since April, 191S. had been evacuated, injured, on October 8th. Lieutenant- 
Colonel Edmund A. Buchanan, at that time the senior officer present with the 
brigade and attached to Brigade Headquarters, was assigned to the command of 
tin Brigade. Upon the assignment of Colonel Jones to this regiment and the 
promotion of Lieutenant-G 1I1 >nel Keller, of the 3 1 7th Infantry, the 1 >ivision Com- 
mander assumed command of the 150th Brigade, exercising his command through 
Lieutenant-Colonel Buchanan as Brigade-Adjutant. 

At 11 130 A. M. on the 2nd this regiment was ordered forward about two 
kilometers to a position just south of St. Juvin. This movement, carried out in 
a pouring rain, had just been completed at I P. M. when orders came, directing 
the regiment to proceed at once to SlVRV-LEZ-BuzANCY, twelve kilometers north. 
Field officers were to precede the column and make personal reconnaissances but 
did not reach Sivry until after dark. The troops, much exhausted after the long 
hike over fearfully congested, very muddy and badly shelled roads, went into 
bivouac in the pouring rain of an unusually dark night, about it I'. M., just east 

of SlVRY-LEZ-BuzANCY. 

The regimental P. C. was established in the town, as were also those of the 
159th Brigade, the 317th Infantry, and the 313th Machine Gun Battalion. With 
four headquarters in one small town, all available shelter was quickly pre-empted. 
Consequently, upon the receipt about midnight of the Division and Brigade attack 
orders for the following day, a conference of officers of this regiment was at

once held in the onl) available slu-ltcr. a large stable, some thirty yards from 
Regimental Headquarters. 

The Hun had been shelling the town intermittently throughout the evening. 
While some forty-five officers and men were busily poring over the maps and 
the orders for the attack, a shell came through the roof and exploded in the midst 
of the gathering, killing Lieutenant Niven, adjutant of the 3rd Battalion; mortally 
wounding Lieutenants Coble and Robertson and wounding- Captain Taliaferro, 
Chaplain Brown and Lieutenants Benson, Crutchfield, Dillingham, Kleinsturber, 
Morrison. Palmer and Turner, all of whom were evacuated excepting 1 haplain 
Brown and Lieutenants Dillingham, Morrison and Turner, who required first-aid 
treatment hut refused to lie evacuated. It was a heavy blow to the regiment to 
have so many officers put out of action on the eve of an attack. 

The transport personnel, zealous for the welfare of the combat troops, pushed 
on over well-nigh impassable loads and brought up the kitchens and ration wagons, 
ensuring a hot breakfast for all after a night passed in the rain. 

At 5 A. M. the attacking unit (3rd Battalion) with attached units (Com- 
pan\ l'>, 313th Machine Gun Battalion, two Stokes mortars and two 37-111111. guns) 
started forward in a northwesterly direction to its position on the left of the 317th 
Infantry and the right of the 77th Division. The 1 st Battalion was in support. 

\'o accurate information as to the exact location of the units holding the 
line had been secured at this time; consequently, the 3rd Battalion advanced, pre- 
pared to he fired upon from Brz\x<\ to H.ARRIC0URT, some four kilometer- 
northwest of Sivry-LEz-Buzancy. The advance was greatly delayed by having 
to pass, under heavy shell lire, through a deep swamp just south of the BuzANi V- 
Bar road. During this advance an enemy shell killed Lieutenant Turner, Com- 
manding "I" Company, and severely wounded 1st Sergeant Schutte, of the same 
o impany. 

Once across this swamp, contact was quickly gained with the 319th Infantry 
between Bar and Buzancy, and with the 77th Division near Harricourt ; ami 
the battalion's line was established as shown on the BuzANn Map in Appendix 8. 
From this line, with K Company on the right and M Compan) on the left. I and 
I. 1 ompanies being in support, the 3rd Battalion made a very rapid advance. 
which at 4:30 I'. M. reached the general line of the unimproved road running 
southeast from St. Pierremont (see the Sommaxjthe Map in Appendix 8). The 
battalion was there held up h\ heavy enemy lire from machine gun nests in the 
w 1 '. ids !' 1 the north. 

I luring the night and early the next morning si .me of those machine gun 
nests were destroyed, and the battalion had advanced a half kilometer further 
and was still advancing when a passage of lines was executed by the 1st Battalion 
about 8 A. M. The 2nd Battalion thereupon became the supporting battalion, 
tlu- 3rd Battalion passing to Brigade Reserve. 

By thus relieving each battalion after twenty-four hours in the front lines, 
all troops were enabled to get a good rest and hot food after subsisting on the 
emergency ration during a period of great -train. Great credit is due the Supph

Company for its success in keeping the troops well supplied at all times during 
this three-day engagement. 

I Hiring its advance the 3rd Battalion captured, among nther things, a battery 
of 77's. possibly the battery which had shelled us the previous night. So rapid 
had been the advance that the Boche Artillery Officers left their mid-day meal 
set upon a table in a tent hack of their guns. Ten machine guns were also 
captured. 

The Regimental P. C. during the day was advanced from Sivry-lez-Buzancy 
to Bar, with an advanced P. C. at Fontenoy. 

On the 1111. ruing of November 4th the 1st Battalion, with attached units

guns), continued the advance with B, C and 1) Companies in line, A Company 
being in support. At this time this regiment was considerably in advance of the 
units on the right and left and. as a consequence, encountered machine gun tire 
from both Hanks, from positions within the sectors of adjacent units. In one 
case, in order to make further progress, it became necessary to take the town of 
Sommaui he and the dominating heights of Hill 314 just south thereof, within the 
sector of the unit on our right. This was done, the town was handed over to 
"D" Company of the 317th Infantry, and the advance proceeded. 

Slow but steady progress was made throughout the day and towards night- 
fall the line ran generally east and west a few hundred yards south of La Polka 
Farm. Further progress was delayed for some time because of the trouble which 
the unit on the left had in taking the high ground west of La Polka Farm. 
This height dominated our sector, and by means of direct machine gun tire, 
the Finn controlled the situation in our front as long as he had observation 
from this hill. Under cover of darkness, however, the battalion succeeded in 
getting forward and taking La Polka Farm and the Farm d' Isly in spite of 
stubborn resistance which was supported by lire from Hill 2J& and the heights 
to the west. From this time until relieved the battalion occupied a line passing 
north of the Farm d'lsLV and bending back on the right to maintain contact 
with the left battalion of the 317th Infantry. (See the La Polka Farm Map 
in Appendix S. 1 

During its advance the 1st Battalion suffered a number of casualties, among 
whom were Lieutenant Davidson, killed, and Captain Winant, wounded. 

On the 4th the Regimental P. C. moved forward from Bar to a position on 
a hill northeast of Fontenoy. 

At 5:30 A. M., November 5th. the 2nd Battalion and attached units (Regi- 
mental Machine 1 iim Company, two Stokes mortars and two 37-mm. guns) passed 
through the 1st Battalion and took up the advance, with the 3rd Battalion in 
support. The 2nd Battalion had E Company in line on the left, G Company in 
line on the right, F and H Companies being in support. The 2nd Battalion ef- 
fected a very rapid advance through the Bois de St. Pierremont, the Bois de la 
Berliere and the Bois vv Grand Dieulet, reaching its original objective along 
the La Bauxolle-Warxiforet road and taking the latter town about 9:30 A. M.

While this position was being organized, an order was received b) the regi 
ment to push on to the Yonco-Beaumont Road, with the left of the regiment 
resting on Voncq ami tin- right on l.\ 1 1 \r\<>i 1 ki k l'"ann. The 2nd Battalion 
consequently resumed its advance, but encountered most determined resistance 
fn nn machine guns and artillery, chiefly 77's. In spite of this resistance, hi >w e\ er, 
the battalion succeeded in advancing to a position just south of the Yoncq- 
Beaumont Road, with patrols "tit toward the Mi use and to the west of Yoncq 
"ii Ilill 2j^,. 1 Sec the Von'CO Map in Appendix 8.) 

In this position the battalion was relieved at 6:30 A. M., November 6th, by 
the ist Division, after having made an advance of some seven kilometers. 

During the advance of the 2nd Battalion the Regimental P. C. moved to 
Sommauthe, and thence to a position in the Urns r>u Grand 1 >iki'lkt, about one 
kilometer north of l.i, Gros Faux harm. 

During the three days in line the regiment made a total advance of sixteen 
kilometers, capturing much valuable material, with the following losses:

It has been authoritatively staled that during the advance of this Brigade 
from November 3rd to 6th, with the exception of a portion of one day, it was 
in advance of the divisions on the right and left. The regiment takes pride also 
in the fact that at the hour of its relief it was further north than anj unit on 
the American fn int. 

lust why this division was relieved on the morning of the 6th has never 
been clear to us. The t6oth Brigade, after being in line for thirty-six hours. 
had had a three days' rest; whereas the [59th Brigade, although engaged for 
three and one-half days, had suffered very few casualties considering the results 
attained. The morale of the division was never higher than during this engage- 
ment—and it is believed that we were relieved simply to enable the First Division, 
which had been the first to come over, to be in line at the signing of the armistice, 
which was expected momentarilj at the hour of our relief. Certain it is that no 
division had advanced farther or suffered fewer casualties from November ist 
' 'ill than had the 80th Division. 

The following awards of the Distinguished Service Cross were made in this 
regiment as the result of heroism in this engagement:

CHAPTER XI 

The Armistice Comes 



jV^trtsN^ RDI'.US had been received thai upon the relief of this Division by 
ra&I^OT tlK ' '^ l Division, this regiment was to be assembled at La Polka 
Sf\j^<w Farm, there to await further orders. By noon, N'ovember 6th, all 
y^{j[5^ unit- were in bivouac in the woods ami ravines about the farm. 
Shortly after arrival there, information reached us that the Division 
would be given a forty-eight-hour period for rest and reorganization, after which 
it would be considered available for immediate resumption of hostilities. Just 
how the Division, after sitting still for two days, was to be expected to get close 
enough to the front lines, fast receding in the north, to resume hostilities was never 
explained. In view of the absence of railroads and the shortage of motor trans- 
portation, this will doubtless remain one of the unsolved mysteries of the war! 

Still, not much time was consumed at that juncture in any such idle specula- 
tion. Regimental and Battalion Supply Officers got extremely busy, with the 
result that by 6 P. M., N'ovember 7th. all essential shortages had been made 
good and the regiment was as ready for action as it had ever been 

Then, to everyone's amazement, orders arrived that night directing the regi- 
ment to march the following morning, not north to the scene of action, hut south 
to the vicinity of Briouenay, where a considerable amount of action had been 
expected late in < Ictober. 

Army intelligence reports received just prior to N'ovember 1 st had given 
this town and a general line east and west thereof as the position on which the 
Boche had prepared to make a determined stand in the event of his being driven 
from the line he was then holding, a general line running east and west through 
SoMMERANCE, some nine kilometers south of Briouexay. Doubtless he had 
intended to make a stand there; evidences to that effect were found 111 plenty. 
It was a naturally strong position, easy to defend, with an excellent field of lire; 
and the Hun had fortified it as best he could 111 the short time available after he 
discovered that "the mad Americans" meant to continue their advance in spite 
of his well known defensive ability. But the advance that began on N'ovember 
ist had been too rapid to permit him to carry out his prearranged plans and the 
BrioL'ENA 1 ! position had been taken almost without a struggle. 

Amazement was acute on the receipt of the order to march south, but all of 
lis knew the line: 

"I heir's not to reason why," 
and the regiment covered the 20 kilometers to Briouenay before noon on the 8th. 



84 History of 3l8th Infantry Repim-en.t, 80th Division. 

< )n November <>th the inarch was continued to St. Irvix and Martincourt 
Farm, a distance of about 11 kilometers. 

On the ioth the regiment marched only some 4 kilometers, bivouacing on 
the same ground occupied on the night of ( Ictober 31st, along the Cornay-Chatel- 
Chehery Road. 

< in the 1 ith the regiment marched 25 kilometers to La Chalade, arriving 
about ,} P. M. Here all units had the must comfortable billets they had yet had, 
occupying old French billets containing electric lights and other little luxuries. 
This area had been practically undisturbed during four years of war, save for 
oi 1 asional long-distance shelling, and was. consequently, a most desirable location. 
The men took it as a good omen that we had reached such a haven on No- 
vember 1 ith. 

Two weeks prior to that date rumor had begun to succeed rumor to the 
effect that the armistice had been signed or was about to be signed, only to be 
officially denied a little later. Finally, definite and official news came to the 
regiment while on the inarch through the Argonne Forest that the terms of the 
armistice had actually been signed by the German delegates, to go into effect at 
ir A. M., November nth. Shortly after, a number of French soldiers were 
passed, capering about joyously and shouting "The war is finished!" One 
doughboy, speaking from the heart ami voicing the sentiments of all, replied: 
"Well, for the Law'd sake, don't start another one unless you can finish it 
yourself !" 

Quite naturally the enthusiasm was intense and. on arrival in camp, the 
men began to figure at once on the best way to celebrate. By common consent the 
discovery of a large amount of pyrotechnics was voted a God-send, and that night 
the heavens were lit by every conceivable kind of military tire works at once. 
When one remembers that this was the first night since our arrival in France 
that no danger was attached to a display of lights and that this was the first 
night for nearly six months that one did not have to reckon with the possibility 
of a hostile aerial visitor, the spontaneous, boyish outburst may be forgiven. 

Many city councils could have learned valuable lessons that night in the 
art of celebrating such occasions as the -ith of July. 

Upon the suspension of hostilities the Division Commander issued the fol- 
lowing general order: 

HEADQUARTERS EIGHTIETH DIVISION, 
American Expeditionary Forces. 

France, nth November. 1918. 
General Order No. 19. 

To the Members of the Solli Division : 

The 80th Division only moves Forward. 

It not only moves forward against the Enemy, but it moves forward in the estimation 
of all who are capable of judging its courage, its lighting and its manly qualities.

In the operations for the period November ist-5th. the Division moved forward fifteen 
and five-eighths miles in an air line. 

It always led. 

!t captured two Huns for every man wounded. 

Ii captured one machine gun for even man wounded. 

It captured one cannon for every ten men wounded, besides large quantities oi muni- 
tions and other stuns. 

It accomplished these results, of vast importance to the success of the general opera- 
tion, with a far smaller percentage of casualties than any other Division in 

It has learned by hard training and experience. 

The appreciation of the Corps and Army Commanders is expressed in the following 

Telegram from the Commanding General, First Army (dated Xov. tst). 

"The \rinv Commander desires thai you inform the Commander of the Soth Division 
of the Army Commander's appreciation of his excellent work during the battle of to day. 
He desires that you have this information sent to all organizations of that Division as far 
as may be practicable this night. He fully realizes the striking blow your Division has 
delivered to the enemy tin- date." 

Telegram from the Commanding General, First Army Corps (dated Mov. 1st) 

"The Corps Commander is particularly pleased with the persistent, intelligent work 
accomplished by your Division to-day. He is further desirous that his congratulations and 
aiipreciatii.n reach General Lloyd M Brett, commanding your Brigade, which has borne the 
brunt of the burden." 

Letter from the Commanding General, First Army Corps: 

"i. The (Tip- Commander desires that you he informed and that those under your 
command Ik- informed that in addition to other well deserved commendations received from 
the Army Commander ami the t orps ' ommander, he wishes to express his particular 
gratification and appreciation of the work .it" your division from the time it has entered 
under his command. 

It is necessarily a great honor to be allowed to command an organization which earns 
such commendation. 

It is likewise a great honor to belong to such an organization. 

I d.. n..t know what the future has in store for us. 

If it he war, we must and shall sustain our honor and our reputation by giving our

We Take a Walk 



SS^^Sd WEEK was spent in the pleasant surroundings of La Liialade. 
AW&vW '" mal<c " more delightful, the sun decided to shine benignly 
Ifi'Tw,^!!! throughout this period and the air had just the tang needed to put 
everyone in fine fettle. 

On November i_'th steps were taken t<> salvage all surplus 
property in the area, clear "IT mud and dirt from clothing and equipment and 
get everything into good shape in accordance with the high standard of the 
regiment. This having been accomplished within two days, a regimental review 
and inspection of troops and transport was held on November 14th. The I Mvi- 
sion Commander, accompanied by his thief of Staff, Colonel \\ . II. Waldron, 
and Lieutenant-Colonel E. A. Buchanan, of the 159th Brigade, honored the regi- 
ment with his presence and gave the assembled troops a brief talk after- the 
review. 

On November 15th, official sanction having been given for -'<> per cent, id 
the officers to avail themselves of a seven days' leave (exclusive of time id' 
travel), the allotted quota departed. It was the first leave most of the officers 
had had in a year or more and was therefore most welcome, the more so 111 that 
the Mining of the armistice marked the successful completion id' the job which 
had called them from their civil pursuits. 

The time up to November 1 St h was spent in further cleaning up and drill, 
the newer men having scarcely had sufficient time to lie assimilated. 

On November [8th the regiment began a march which made the famous 
march of the 10.000 Greeks seem, by comparison, a mere Sunday afternoon stroll. 
There are two essentials, without which a doughboy, whatever his cither qualifica- 
tions, is a failure: first and foremost, the ability and the eagerness t>> fight; 
second, the ability to get anywhere on his own motive power. The regiment, 
having already demonstrated its possession of the first essential, was now given 
an opportunity to show what it could do on a real, continuous march. 

The march began November t8th and was completed on November 29th, a 
total distance id" 220 kilometers being covered in ten days of actual marching, 
in accordance with the following march table: 

November tSth — Marched from l.\ Chalade to Brizeaux (20 kilometers). 

November 19th — Marched from Brizeaux to Laheycourt i hj kilometers). 

November 20th— Marched from Laheycourt to Robert-Espagxi (26

November 2_>n<t Marched from Robert-Espagne to Valcourt (20 
kilometers). 

November 23rd — Marched from Valcouri to Wassy (15 kilometers). 

November 24th — Spent at Wassy. 

November 25th — Marched from Wassy to Villiers-aux-Chenes (19 kilo- 
meters ) . 

November 26th— Marched from Villiers-aux-Chenes to Colombe-la- 
Fosse ( 17 kilometers ). 

November 27th — Marched from Colombe-la-Fosse to Champignol (19 
kill 'meters). 

November 28th — Marched from Champignol to Potiiieres (31 kilometers). 

November jgth — Marched from Pothieres to ^.SNIERES-en-Montagne 134 
kilometers 1 . 

This table shows the towns in which Regimental Headquarters was estab- 
lished during the march. Some units, owing to the crowded conditions in certain 
billeting areas, had to march a considerable distance away from the main line 
of march to find accommodations. Thus, the total of 220 kilometers falls far 
short of the distance actually marched by some, if not all, of the men of the 
regiment. 

The march started under almost ideal weather conditions, which continued 
for several daws. Before the march ended, however, this luck had changed and 
rain set in and continued. Where units had to bivouac for lack of billets, the 
latter part of the period became a rather trying one. 

The Division Supply Department functioned admirably throughout the 
march in rationing the regiment. The 159th Brigade had advanced parties out 
at all times, finding the exact billeting possibilities of all towns to be occupied 
by its units. Each day at 4 P. M. a representative of the regiment reported at 
Brigade Headquarters, receiving the march order for the following day, vvith 
the names of all towns to be occupied and the billeting possibilities of each. 
It would have been much simpler if the Division could have written one order 
for the entire march, but this was impossible because of the great numbers of 
troops moving south simultaneously and the changing instructions received from 
time to time from higher up. The only thing definitely known throughout the 
march was that we were headed for the 15th Training Area and that Division 
Headquarters would be in Ancy--le- Franc. 

Everything went smoothly until the regiment reached Robert-Espagne, 
where five hundred and eighty-three replacements were assigned to the regiment, 
representing every degree of training from a year to a month and every branch of 
the service from infantrymen to balloon observers. Some came fully equipped, 
others lacked nearly everything save the clothing on their backs. No service 
records arrived with any of them. It was an unfortunate deluge to arrive at 
such a time. 



We Take a Walk. S9 



( )ne other serious defect is to be noted in the arrangements for the march. 
No provision had been made for a resupply of shoes, and the 220 kilometer 
march over metalled roads played havoc with the shoes which had already seen 
hard service "up the line." As a result, many men finished the hike with their 
feet practically on the ground. 

1 he long march was ended by the arrival of the regiment within the 15th 
Training Area on the night of November 29th. With the exception of a number 
of the replacements who joined us in poor physical condition, the regiment 
finished the march in excellent shape.

The regiment was destined to remain for four months in this area. Many 
conveniences and some necessities of life were lacking on our arrival, hut all 
deficiencies were gradually made good so that, long before our departure, the 
regiment had become as comfortable as could he expected. The allowance of 
fuel was not so liberal as in the Cnited States; to offset this, however, there was 
a very liberal allowance of rain and mud, with some snow and ice. But what-

ever the inconveniences to which he is exposed, the soldier has a knack of making 
himself very comfortable in any situation — and the winter passed more pleasantly 
than we had anticipated. 

On December 6th, Colonel Harry C. [ones was relieved from command of 
the regiment. Colonel George D. Freeman, Jr., being assigned to the command 
the same day. 

During December many non-commissioned officers returned to the regiment 
from the < tfficers' Training School at Langres, this school having been discon- 
tinued with the signing of the armistice. Many officers and enlisted men who 
had been wounded were also returned to duty with the regiment. 

Main promotions and transfers were made while the regiment was in this 
area. Lieutenant-Colonel Mitchell was transferred to 92nd Division, January 11, 
1919. Major Charles Sweeny was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel, February 24, 
1919, and transferred to Headquarters, 1 st ( brps, March 1 ith. Major J. C. Wise 
was transferred to (I. 11. Q., February 10th. Captain Edward H. Little was 
promoted to Major. February _'4th. and assigned to the command id" the 2nd 
Battalion. Captain Louis J. Koch was promoted to Major, March 20th, and 
assigned to the 1st Battalion. Captain I.. A. Cuthbert succeeded Captain Gold- 
smith as Regimental Adjutant, March 4th; Captain 1\. 1'. Williams, Jr., succeeded 
Major Little as ( Iperations < fficer, March 4th. 

I or the first week or two in December the men had the restless air of those 
expecting something to happen at any moment. Just what should happen seemed 
uncertain, hut the whole atmosphere was charged with expectation. Perhaps all 
felt that by some miracle the 80th Division would start hack to the States by 
January 1. 1919. With the war over except for the signing of the treaty of 
peace, very few officers or men contemplated remaining in the service — and the 
one idea of all was: "When do we go home:" As time wore on. however, this 
restlessness gradually passed away and all settled down to face cheerfully what- 
ever the future might have in store. 

In addition to the regular drill periods of some live hours per day through- 
out the four months in this area, the regiment's time and attention were devoted 
in very large measure to three quite distinct phases of activity, which may be 
characterized briefly as follows: First a multiplicity of maneuvers and terrain 
exercises; second, a large variety of sports, amusements and entertainments; and, 
third, a lively interest in educational work. 

Of these, the first demanded the most time, if not interest. In maneuvers 
the entire personnel of the unit was present; in terrain exercises, all headquarters 
down to a battalion were present and all means of communication were in opera- 
tion, hut the troops were merely outlined. 

Higher headquarters had determined that all combat troops in hack areas 
should pursue a vigorous course of training between the signing of the armistice 
and their departure for the United States, having two main purposes in view: 
to prepare the army for a possible resumption of hostilities; and to keep the 
men occupied during the trying months of a French winter. Hostilities, at the 



Ill Whitrr (Jwtrtcrs. 93 



present writing, seem unlikely to be renewed, but this regiment can testify feel- 
ing]) that it was kept healthily busy with practically every known variety of 
maneuver and terrain exercise except a landing engagement ; and it is suspected 
that if there had been one sizeable pond within our area, skiffs would have been 
built and the regiment given a chance to fight its way ashore. 

Maneuvers and terrain exercises were held under all sorts oi weather con- 
ditions. Snow, rain and mud had no deterrent effect. Staff officers often longed 
for an opportunity to fight out the problems around a large table over a map, 
with the chance thereby to form a mental picture of the situation of all units 
involved. The system of having the staffs on the ground had the advantage of 
making them get their heels off their desks and take some exercise; and the 
various signal units of the division obtained excellent practice in rapid communica- 
tion throughout the winter. But, with staff officers scattered all over the terrain 
without troops ami without anyone representing the enemy, officers came to the 
brief critiques held at the conclusion of all exercises, with their ideas very hazy 
about everything supposed to have happened throughout the exercise, save as it 
affected their own units. 

Before the four months were ended, we had fought about every conceivable 
kind i d" battle, from the defense of a well-organized sector t<> the escort of a 
convoy through supposedly hostile territory. The Regimental < >perations < Mlicer, 
on whom fell the burden of all these problems, often remarked sadly. "Every 
little maneuver has a meaning all its own!" 

But our time was not all devoted to maneuvers and drill. Efforts were made, 
with the limited facilities at hand, to get and keep as many men as possible in- 
terested in all forms of athletics. Football teams were speedily organized in 
all companies and after some few weeks of practice, intra-battalion games were 
played to determine the battalion champions. These having been selected, the 
regimental championship was fought out. In the final battle. A Company de- 
feated I Company after a gruelling contest by the score of [3 to 6. 

Meantime, new interest was aroused in track and field meets. Two meets 
were held at Cm, February [2th and March I2th, with entries from all units. 
For these meets, a provisional Headquarters Battalion, composed of the Head- 
quarters, Supply and Machine Gun Companies, was organized and its representa- 
tives competed with teams from the three line battalions. In both of these regi- 
mental meets the Headquarters Battalion carried off the honors and won the 
handsome banner donated by Regimental Headquarters. 

The regiment wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness to the various societies, 
especially the Y. M . ( '. A., the Knights of Columbus, anil the American Red 
I loss, for their efforts, in spite of limited transportation and impossible freight 
conditions, to keep the men supplied with smokes, candy, games and reading 
matter. Each town had a building or tent for the headquarters of one or another 
of these societies, and those were the nearest approach to clubs for the men 
that ci iuld he 1 ibtained. 

During this period the 159th Brigade Amusement Troupe entered upon a

very active career. Organized the previous August by Captain Raymond, of 
this regiment, with picked men from the 317th and 318th Regiments, it had 
to function spasmodically during the period of active operations. With the 
arrival, however, of the Division in the 15th Training Area, it entered at once 
upon a program of entertaining the various units of the brigade. The troupe 
was composed of men of such versatile talent that an entirely new show was 
presented every two weeks. The idea of a troupe of this sort spread like wild- 
fire and the regiment soon had troupes of its own performing in the various units. 
Dances for the men and dances for the officers occupied an important place 
in the schedules of all units. ( Miicers' clubs were established in all towns. The 
Regimental Band traveled continuously from one town to another giving concerts. 
Many of the men went on leave at one time or another during these four months. 
Everything, in short, was done with the means al hand to make the winter 

pass agreeably. 

On Christmas Day the units in each town, forgetting or suppressing then- 
own homesickness, tried to make the day one to be remembered by all the 
French youngsters. Enormous, well-decorated Christinas trees brought the holi- 
day touch and presents were lavishly distributed among the children. Company 
funds were drawn upon freely to make the day a pleasant one for all the men 
and it was a peculiar genius who had a grouch on that day. in spite of his 
absence from home. 

Hand in hand with training and athletics and amusements went education. 
It was speedily realized that a man could not drill or play all the time, and that 
a large percentage of the troops would welcome an opportunity to study. With 
this in view, schools were established in every town, books obtained and in- 
structors selected from the officers and men. How keen was the interest may 
be seen from the fact that tins division far outnumbered the other eight divisions 
in the 1st Army both in the number of its schools and the aggregate of its 
students. Working on the theory that ''A little learning is a dangerous thing,' 
everybody apparently was trying to get out of danger! 

In lanuarv began a series of horse shows which were greeted with lively 
enthusiasm and finally save the Division an opportunity to prove to the entire 
army that, in the care of animals and transport, it could not be surpassed. 
On 'lanuarv 2ist, after preliminary battalion shows, the Regimental Horse Show 
was held at Cry. The show was a great success in every way. and the turnouts 
of horses and equipment left little to be desired. The results, with the winners 
in each event, follow : 

Class A — Four-Line Teams: 

First — Machine Gun Company. 
Second — 3rd Battalion. 
Third— 2nd Battalion.

On February est the Division Horse Show was held near Ancy-le-Franc. 
Mi. following quotation from the Division Bulletin of February 2nd will perhaps 
pri '\ e interesting : 

The Division Commander desires to express his pride and satisfaction in conspicuously 
excellent showing made bj the Division at the Horse Show of Februarj isl 

The care and handling of animal.'-, the .arc of harness and vehicles, the skill and at- 
tention to details of every kind produced this demonstration of transport efficiency which is 
of such value and credit to the Division 

Every entry was a prize-winning entry and a marked credit to the organization pre- 
senting ii : those that did not win prizes, lost with honor and credit by narrow margins 111 
a competition of superexcellence. 

In the midst of so much excellence, the 318th Infantry nosed out all competi- 
tors ami carried off the handsome silver cup for the unit winning the greatest 
number of points. The Machine Gun Company, Captain Cuthbert commanding, 
deserves especial mention for their remarkable showing, carrying ft)' first and 
second places with a total of nine points in the contest between gun teams of all 
machine gun units. The Headquarters Company, Captain Houser commanding, 
carried off live points in the 37-mm. gun competition, taking second and fourth 
places against strong competition. The Supply Company, Captain McBride, com- 
manding, brought up the total to [5 1>\ taking fourth place in the competition 
between t\\< < line team--. 




JERRY ' 




THE OLD VIRGINIA WAGON 



/// Waiter (Jmirter-i. \K> 



The 314th Field \rtiller\ ran ib a close second, with a total of 14 points. 

In the closing event, which counted n>> points hut aroused keen interest, 
various units brought out their most comical entries. \ little Boche Burro, 
taken "up the line," wearing a great Iron Cross and a German rap and drawing 
a little cart on which was mounted an "anti-aircraft rifle," represented the Suppl) 
i ompany of this regiment and took first place. This team was brought upon the 
held in the "Old Virginia" Wagon of the 2nd Battalion and was lifted out b\ 
hand and set on the ground in front of the judges amid tremendous applause. 

The 80th Division having selected it- besl representatives, went to Tonnerki 
in the ist Corps Horse Show on February 8th and easil) defeated the Corps 
Troops and the 36th and 78th Divisions. There were thirty-three events with 
a total value of 201 points. This division took first place in fourteen events 
and second place in eight events for a total of in-' points. The nearest competi- 
tor was the 78th Division with 46 points. The 80th Division got ro points foi 
having the best entry in the show. 

1 >n March 5th at the 1st Army Horse Show at Bar-sur-Auhe, the isl < orps 
was easily victorious, the entries from the 80th Division making tins victor) 
pi issible. 

Horse shows, maneuvers, drill, study and athletics alone, however, did not 
make the winter noteworthy. The note of distinction, setting us above our fel- 
lows, came in January, with the arrival of .Miss Catharine Hopkins, of New 
York, and Mrs. Edna B. Cartwright, of Boston, the two most welcome "recruits" 
the regiment ever received. Ostensibly, the) came as representatives of the V, 
M C. A., but the regiment will take oath that the\ were ambassadors straight 
from heaven, come to brighten our lives and to remove the burden of our dis- 
ci ntent. Their gracious presence, their ever-read) smiles and their tireless ei 
forts in our behalf brought the spirit of home to men who had begun to suffer 
from nostalgia. We can never pay the debt of gratitude we owe them, but 11 
gives us pleasure to publich acknowledge it. 

Between the conclusion of the period of horse show- and the date of de- 
parture from the 15th Training Area, one event stand- out prominently above 
all others, the inspection and review of the entire Division by General Pershing. 
1 his took place on March 26th near the little town of Pimelles within the 
Divisional Area. A more impressive scene could not be imagined than that of 
an entire division in march together past its Supreme Commander. The follow- 
ing extract frmn the Division Bulletin of March 27, 1919, perhaps best expresses 
the excellence of the review: 

The Division 1 ommander desires to express to the Division Ins great satisfaction 
gratification and pride in the appearance and performance of the Division at the Review oi 
the • ommander-in-Chief. From the beginning oi the concentration, through the inspec 
turn, the ceremonies, the review, to the return oi liillets. the work uas that oi seasoned

The Commander in < liiel was enthusiastic in his repeated expressions oi praise and 
approval, reverting often, in the progress of his inspection, to the "splendid body "I men" 
and the "line division." 

Perhaps the must impressive single incident of the da\ was the bringing oi 
all units' colors together before the Commander-in-< hief who affixed to each 
regimental color a silken ribbon commemorating the engagements in which each 
had taken part. L'pon the ribbon of this regiment is the following inscription: 

I'm mhv Sech.r. France, July 23 to August [8, 1918. 

Mm - Vrgoxni Offensive, France. September 26 to September 30, ujiS 

Mecse-Argo 1 Offensive, France, October 4 to October 12, 1 y 1 8. 

M11 se-Akgonxi Offensive, France. November 1 to November 6. 1918. 

The ribbon was issued in lieu of silver bands, bearing the same inscription, 
to be given later and affixed to the staff of the regimental color. 

< hi March 20th, the Division passed under the control of the Commanding 
General, S. O. S. (Services of Supply), under whose direction the Division was 
to he prepared for its return to the United Stales. Announcement to this effect 
had been made on Februan 27th with the additional information that the Division 
would sail for the States 111 Maw Wild enthusiasm greeted these announce- 
ments and everyone at once made even possible effort to see that nothing should 
occur to postpone our departure for a single day. 

I 1 11 ui the conclusion of our service as combat troops, the Commanding Gen- 
eral, ist Army Corps, issued the following general order:

made a splendid record. The Corps Commander desires particularly to express his appre- 
ciation for the soldierly achievements of this division during the time it served with the

easy and often difficult, the spirit of th< division has been excellent and has been manifest 
at all limes. The Division leaves on the first part of il~ journey with the Corps 1 om-

CHAPTER XIV 

We Prepare to Go Honir 

X April 2nd and 3rd the regiment entrained al \'i rrs-soi s-R a ikki s, 
arriving at Mayet. south of Le Mans in the 1 >epartment of Sari mi . 
on the 3rd .-mil 41I1. In t hi-- area the regiment was concentrated in 
Mayet, with the exception of the 3rd Battalion and Machine Gun 
1 ompany, located at Pontvallain, some six kilometers vvesl oi 
\! w i r. Tii everyone's delight, it proved to he the best billeting area the regi- 
ment had yet encountered. 

L'pon arrival in this region, known as the American Embarkation ( enter, all 
units immediately proceeded to make good all shortages in records, clothing and 

eauipment. These labors were not t nerous, for we had reached Mavf/i 

with everything in excellent shape. 

Reports had already reached ns at ( ki of the numerous inspections which 
we would have to undergo in the Le Mans Area and the rumors were not 
exaggerated. Preparations to meet these inspections consumed many an hour 
of everyone's attention — hut the results were worth it. On April 2ist, the in- 
spectors of the Embarkation (enter made their final inspection of equipment, 
Each company and detachment had required every article to be displayed accord- 
ing to a definite plan. The result was that an observer standing on on, flank 
of a coinpam saw a perfectly straight hue of steel helmets, another of mess kit-, 
another of toilet articles and s. . on. \s one wag put it: "The Commanding 
1 Miner said: 'Bully Beef Cans, Right Dress! and you could hear the lids click!'' 
The following communications from Headquarters, A. E. ('. to the Division 
( ommander show the satisfactory nature of the inspections: 

1. The Commanding tieneral um.t- il.ii a o>p\ .a' this report of the Inspcctm ■ 1

well worthy of emulation 

1. Having completed tin clothing and equipment inspections of the 80th Division in 
tin Ecommoy Area, I desire to call the attention of the ( ommanding Genera] to its excellent 
condition All instructions that we gave were carried out both in letter and in spirit, and 
each organization tried to excel in this inspection. 

j. Their equipment was ver\ clean and most carefully arranged, the greati I atten 
lion being paid to minute details, The Brigade < ommanders accompanied the Inspectoi

and their interest in this work produced the very best results and greatly facilitated the 
work an our part. 

,?. The spirit of courtesy and emulation that pervades this division, and the efficient 
and thorough business methods employed retleet the highest credit upon its entire personnel. 

\n excellent rifle range with erne hundred targets, located some five kilo- 
meters cast of M mii, was used continuously for about ten days following our 
arrival, to give all units a chance to finish the regular target course begun at Cry. 
At the conclusion of the record practice, it was found that four men had quali- 
fied as expert riflemen, thirty-one as sharpshooters, and three hundred and thirty- 
six as marksmen. The United States Rifle, Model of i < > i ~, was built for com- 
bat, not for target practice, especially at 500 and 600 yards; and the number of 
men qualifying is considered very creditable in view of the rifle used, the haste 
with which units had to be put through the preliminary instruction practice, and 
the fact that much of the record practice was fired in the rain. 

< lur whole time, however, was not devoted to being inspected nor to rifle 
practice. A very lively baseball league was started at once and competition of 
the keenest nature was shown in every game. Again, as on a previous occasion 
for track meets, a Headquarters Battalion, composed of the Headquarters Com- 
pany, Machine Gun Company and Supply Company, was formed and had a 
team competing with the teams of the tst, 2nd and 3rd Battalions. When the 
last ball had been pitched and the last umpire bad escaped with his life, the teams 
Stood as follows; 

Won. Lost. Percentage. 

2nd Battalion 6 3 .667 

3rd Battalion 5 4 o5 (l 

1 st I iattalion 4 S -444 

Headquarters Battalion 3 6 .333 

A basketball league with teams from the 2nd, 3rd and Headquarters Bat- 
talions flourished coincidentally with the baseball league and a hard fought series 
of games resulted finally as follows: 

Won. Lost. Percentage 

Headquarters Battalion 5 2 .714 

3rd Battalion 4 .^ -57 1 

_>nd Battalion 1 5 .167 

To add a little variety to our existence, a platoon competition in close order 
drill was held at Mayet on April 30th. <i Company, proud id" its victory over 
M Company at Cry on March tgth, issued a challenge to any and all platoons to

First Lieutenant M. F. Rodgers commanding, was declared the winner with the 
1st Platoon of E Company, Sergeant \V. L. Phalen commanding, second. 

\l>"iit the middle of April a movement began to form an association of the 
veterans of the 80th Division. Captain R. P. Williams, Jr., and Sergeant William 
\ . Moseley represented this regiment at the preliminary meetings. The proposal 
met with great enthusiasm throughout the division and units vied with each other 
for the highest percentage of enrollments. The executive committee as finally 
-elected, to serve until October, nun, consisted of two representatives from this 
Brigade, two from the tiioth Brigade, two from the 155th Field Artillery Brigade 
and two from Divisional Troops. The Division Commander, Major-General 
Vdelbert Cronkhite, was elected president of the association; Colonel \Y. II 
Waldron, chief of staff, vice-president: and Captain Frederick Hickman, ad- 
jutant, 319th Infantry, secretary. Captain Reuel \V. Elton, 318th Infantry, was 
-elected by the executive committee as resident secretary and treasurer. Pitts- 
burgh was selected foi the division's permanent headquarters. At the date of 
leaving this area, this regiment had enrolled six life members and _>. 254 annual 
members. 

• in .May 8th tin. entire regiment was inspected and reviewed 1>\ Major- 
General Cronkhite, who had returned to the command of the Division on April 
1 2th after an absence of nearly five months as Commanding General of the 
Oth Army Corps. This corps had been broken up upon the return of its divi- 
sions to the United States. 

I>\ great good luck May 8th was a perfect spring day and nothing occurred 
to mar the impressiveness of the review. Yet through it all there was a touch 
of sadness in the thought that the regiment was together as a whole for perhaps 
the last time, a lighting unit assembled to salute its beloved commander on the 
e\ e 1 if its return to civil life.

CHAPTER XV 

Homeward Bound 




TKR many disappointments, definite orders for our departure for 
Brest finally arrived and the regiment entrained at Mayet in the 
following order : 



Ma\ 13th: tst Battalion 

2nd Battalion (less G and H Companies). 
May 1 uli : ( '1 and 1 1 Companies. 

3rd Battalion. 
May 15th: Regimental Headquarters. 
I teadquarters Company. 
Machine < !un G impany. 
Suppl) < 'ompany. 
Medical I >etachment. 
All units were in camp at Pontanezen, near Brest, by 2 P. M. on the [6th. 
( lur stay was short, hut busy. In spite of all the inspections to which we were 
subjected in the Le .Man- area, nobody at Brest seemed inclined to take any- 
thing on faith — and a frantic round of inspections began for each unit immediately 
upon arrival. Furthermore, efforts at Mayi i to secure complete equipment 
seemed, in retrospection, a waste of time, as every man was given at Brest a 
complete new outfit without requisition. All activities at Brest functioned ac- 
cording to a somewhat complicated but extremely efficient system — and the entire 
regiment was speedily passed through all tests and declared ready for return 
to the United States. 

Early in the evening of the Kith, only a few hours after the arrival of the 
last units in camp, a warning order was received to be ready to leave at any 
hour after noon. May 17th. A shout of joy, audible for miles, went up all 
through our section of the cam]) at this unexpected stroke of good fortune. 
We had arrived expecting to sta\ at Brest at least a week. To be greeted with 

such a pleasant surprise was almost too g 1 to he true. 

Three very interesting communications reached the regiment on May [6th. 
( if these, two appeared in the 80th Division Bulletin of May 14th and are as 
follows : 

1. The following letter lias been received from Lieutenant-General Robert Lee 
Bullard, I". S. A., in command of the III Corps, American E. I-'., during the Meuse- 
Argi 'tine offensive :

The following letter has been received from tin- \.djutant-General, G II. Q., 

American K. F. : 

The 8oth Division was the only Division which went into line in the Meuse-Argonne 
offensive three times. 

This fact is now a matter of record and is to be incorporated in the final report of the 
Commander-in-Chief, American Expeditionary Forces, to the Secretary ol War, to be sub- 
mitted in the near future. 

The third appeared in the Division Bulletin of May i<>ili and is as follows:

At the time when the Soth Division is preparing to return to its homes, 1 wish to 
express to your soldiers the gratitude of the Government of the Republic for the glorious 
part they have played in the last battles of the great war. 

In the Meuse-Argonne battle, in the month of September, the Soth DiMsii.n was to 
display it- real strength in the attack which took it from the Forges Brook up to the 
woods of Cote Lemont and Dannevoux. 

Several days later, in the hard fighting around the Bois des Ogons and i unci and 
on the right hank of the Meuse it gave proof of the same qualities. 

From the fourth to the twelfth of October, the Division lost 2.000 men 

November 1st. it took a brilliant part in the attack on Imecourt and Buzancy and in 
the pursuit of the enemy as far as t lit Meuse, which the Division reached at l.i iani. 

1 express to the Soth Division mj wish for a pleasant voyage and I \ tin fervent 

lu.pr that the blood shed on the soil of France may create an indestructible bond between 
our two great democracies. 

Accept, my dear general, the assurances of my highest esteem. 

For the President of the Council and by his order 

The High Commissioner of Franco-American War Affairs, 

ANDRE TARDIE1 



lln History of iisth Infantry Regiment. 80th Division. 

Early on the morning of May 17th. orders arrived that the regiment, less L, 
M and Supply Companies, would sail that day on the U. S. S. Mail Accord- 
ingly, at 12 noon the regiment marched out of Pontanezen Camp, reaching 
Brest at 1:^0 P. M. Three lighters were at once leaded and put out for the 
-hip. which had reached the harbor only at 1 P. M. 

The Maui is an oil-burning vessel of some 17,000 tuns, formerly plying be- 
tween San Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands. Her ability to make three round 
trips between the United Sates and Prance without replenishing fuel augured 
well for a swift departure from Brest, and at 4:55 P. M. on May 17th anchor 
was weighed and our service overseas came to an end. 

Eleven months and two weeks had been passed on French soil — and it was 
with mixed emotions that we saw the coast of Brittany recede in the distance. 
Mot a man hut was keen to set foot on American soil again; hut not a man 
regreted the year spent in France, fighting beside our allies of France and Eng- 
land. A touch of sadness came to man) at the thought that the close associations 
of campaigning days were so soon t, 1 end. 

A storm of several days' duration caused many to take up and maintain a 
"position of readiness" near the rail. But, b) May 22lld, the waves had sub- 
-idcd. the steamer rode on an even keel, and the thought that America was soon 
to he reached was uppermost in all minds. 

On Ma) 27th land was sighted, and by .} P. M. the ship lay at anchor at 
New ] 11 n't New -. 

And here we will take leave of the regiment, home again after a year of 
foreign service. But a few days more and all will have returned to their homes 
I he State of \ irginia, which gave the regiment birth, is to receive the regiment's 
colors, and it is fitting that this should he so. Two-thirds of the men of the 
regiment who laid down their lives on the held of battle came from Virginia. 
In modern war the colors do not go into battle. The day of the bullet-torn, blood- 
stained banner lias passed. Yet. the crimson of our banner seems a deeper red 
for the blood so freely shed, the white more pure for the holiness of the cause 
for which we fought: while the stars in their field of blue seem to shine with the 
light of hope for a world redeemed. Truly, the regiment may say with the 
great Api istle : 

"1 have fought a good light. I have finished ni\ course, I have kept the faith."

Report of Operations of 318th Infantry 

Regiment 

\'< IVEMBER 1-8, rgi8 

Attention is invited to detailed report of operations of this regiment from November 
i to 8, mis, inclusive. 

The attack ordered by Field Order No. 16 these headquarters started at 5:20 A. M., 
November 3d, with the movement of the leading battalion (3d Battalion, Major Burdick 
commanding). About 8 A. M. the battalion moved forward on its objective, on the left of 
the 317th Infantry and right of 77th Division. 

The attack continued during November 3d, -|th and 5th, the front line being relieved 
by the 1st Battalion (Major Sweem commanding) on November 4th. and by the 2nd 
Battalion (Major Wise commanding) on November 5th. 

The attack started from the Harricourt-Bar Road (6766-7565) and progressed until 
the regiment was passed through by the 18th Infantry. 1st Division, at 6:15 A. M., November 
6th, at 2315-3208-3800, after winch the regiment was assembled at La Polka Farm. 

The enemys' resistance consisted of fire from machine guns and 77s. and at the end, 
some [55s. It was moderately strong at man;, points during the advance, but the progress 
of the advance was retarded at only two points, the front of the woods in squares 04 and 
04 and Hill 278, and the advance of the 2nd Battalion from La Bagnolle-Warniforet Road 
to the point at which it was relieved by the passage of lines executed by the 18th Infantry, 
1st Division. 

At the first mentioned points, squares 04 and 04 and Hill 27S. the resistance from 
machine gun nests was sustained and very vigorous and necessitated the use of the sup- 
porting artillery. At the last mentioned point. La Bagnolle-Warniforet Road, the enemy 
resisted vigorously from I nil 275 and the woods south of same, and this point was re- 
duced by direct fire oi our accompanying guns and battalion artillery. 

There was delay in getting the accompanying guns into action on November 4th, due 
to the failure of these guns to report for dutj in time to be of service. After this the 
support of the artillery was excellent throughout.

( 1 INCLUSK INS 

The work of all the units of this regiment was executed with commendable skill 
ami speed, but our leading troops were many times delayed by the flanking elements not 
keeping up with our advance ( ombat liaison was maintained throughout by the use of 
combat patrols from the supporting companies and support battalion, the line being 
practically ci mtinui ms at all times. 

Liaison from the front to rear was excellent and the Regimental Commander was 
never at any period of the attack without control of the advancing troops Weather 
conditions were deplorable and increased the arduous work of maintaining liaison, the 
advance being very rapid throughout and it being impossible to maintain wire communica- 
tion forward. In this connection the Commanding Officer calls attention to the necessity 
■ it providing wire connection from Brigade to Regiment. The Regimental personnel being 
insufficient to work both to front and rear, all our wire was used constantlj in keeping 
connection with brigade and left none for service forward to battalions. 

Attention is invited to the fact that the mission given this regiment was accomplished 
with comparatively light casualties, considering the nature of the operation ["his is at- 
tributed not only to the excellent judgment displayed by nun commanders, but to the 
employment of formations of companies in half-platoons, and the equalization and co- 
ordination of the arm-, of e.uli half-platoon unit, which insured propei distances and 
intervals. 

REi 1 IMMENDA1 K 'XS 

The Regimental Commander desires to express his great appreciation of the eal 
and spirit of the officers and men of this regiment without exception during every phase 
of the action. Orders were promptly and intelligently executed, and the high degree of 



1MI History of -iisf/i Infantry Rer/imcnt, 80th Division. 

initiative and spirit shown by all ranks was very gratifying. The following officers and 
nun are. in the opinion of the Regimental Commander, deserving of special mention and 
llie divisional citation, for the efficient performance of duty during the progress of the 
operation : 

1 . 1 1 I'TI IN \NT-Coi 0N1 i Mm n I I I 

This officer was especially zealous in seeing that the orders of the Regimental Com- 
mander were carried out by the leading and support battalions. He accompanied the advance 
and established the advanced Regimental P. Cs. and by his example and influence aided 
materially the successful consummation of the operation.

c ommanding I irst Battalion 

This officer displayed rare tactical ability in handling his battalion. He met with 
strong opposition at one point in his attack, and the fact that he gained ground with as few 
casualties as he had reflects great credit on his ability and judgment. 

M \ iuk Charles Sweeny 

Commanding First Battalion 

This officer gained his objective with dash and ability. He shewed excellent tactical 
judgment and initiative in exploiting the success of his advance after reaching his objective, 
which action enabled the relieving troops of the 1st Division to make immediate progress 
withi int serii ms i >ppi isitii m 

Major Henry H. Bi mm k 

Commanding Thin! Battalion 

This officer must he particularly commended, not only for his good tactical judgment
